I found this in my local newspaper... It's about where I live and its kinda funny I guess. To help you out I will bold the funny parts as I know them...
NAPLES — Money Magazine has ranked Collier County fourth on its "Best Places for a Long Life" list.
The magazine studied regions across the country. The highest rankings identify areas where residents have some of the highest life expectancies.
In its report, Money stated that Collier County "is the picture of Florida leisure. By land area, Collier is the largest county in the state and 80 percent of it is devoted to parks and nature preserves. Any kind of water-related recreation or exercise you can think of is readily available."
The magazine also recognized the area's many arts and entertainment offerings.
"Our ranking among the 'Best Places' confirms what we are working to develop in Southwest Florida, which is a robust business climate for growing technology, life science and corporate headquarter enterprises. Couple this with a warm, natural climate and a well-educated workforce and you have the formula for business success,” said Julie A. Schmelzle, chairman of the Economic Development Council of Collier County, in a news release.
The complete list of "Best Places for a Long Life" appears on CNNMoney.com
At the top of the list is Montgomery County in Maryland, which includes the towns of Aspen Hill, Bethesda, Calverton, Colesville, Fairland, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Montgomery Village, North Bethesda, Olney, Potomac, Rockville, Silver Spring and White Oak.
I find this to be really funny. The part about highest life expectancy is a hoot! And you know that they really did their research well too cause every one that commented on the article said that Naples is great for bingo, bridge, driving slow, bingo, church groups...etc...
Ok maybe this is a joke only I can understand. Cause I do live here. And consider myself a native even though I have only lived here for 29 of my 34 years.
We don't call them "blue haired ladies" cause they are punk.
