What we love most about Florence is the
people. You cannot go anywhere in town
without running into a smile or a “howdy.”
Need a hand? There will be someone
available. For a small town there is always
something to do or places to go. Ride
the dunes, be entertained by many a
performance or simply go out to eat and
watch life pass by ever so slowly. (With
a glass of wine preferably). Perfect? No,
of course not. But close!!! And besides,
Florence is our town!
