I really don't understand the question. Meanwhile, I have worked at Homestead Senior Care for a year. I love helping people. Next, my mother, sister, and aunt died of cancer and I had to take care of them. I have good transportation, and I am the director of music/minister of music at my church.

NE side is the quiet side of Tallahassee even though it is fast but it's not like the south side where all the Universities are located. We have three hospitals within and many retirement homes. It is very convenient.

Tallahasse is s beautiful area to live, where you can view wild life and have so many rivers and streams for fishing, its also near the golf of mexico so the brakish water allows for salt water fishing.

Not to mention great musiums, parks, historic St. Marks light house, many bike trails, great restaurants atc....
