    "People, including my wife and I, often walk our dogs around the neighborhood. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, with good sized lots of approximately a half acre or more on the average, so houses are not crammed together allowing for interesting and varied personal tastes in lawn care and landscaping. Thereโ€™s the enjoyable and friendly sounds of children playing, and birds singing, the occasional mower, and at times the visit of the occasional deer."
  • Ernestdurphy
    "High School Sports especially football is a big thing here, in fact the varsity team is playing for the state championship tonight in Tallahassee. Also the annual strawberry festival is huge, and Christmas on Call Street is a big attraction, along with a number of other attractions and festivals throughout the year here in historic Starke, Florida."
