I have cousins that lived down near Cultler in Perrine but Andrew took their homes and they moved up north Florida. My son moved from Miami about 12 years ago because of the population growth n crime and moved just south of Austin. Got a few acres of elbow room but very worried about him last month with the floods. G kids all grown and now near Homestead. My sister lives near Robbie Stadium in Hollywood…family spread out all over down here and more family in Texas..Harris county and close to Austin. How do you like the difference from down here to Austin?
