Henryβs East Coast hotels needed a reliable supply of fresh produce to serve his entitled clientele. In 1890, Henry hired his cousin, T.H. Hasting, to operate a 1,562-acre farm on the Eastern side of the St. Johns River. The farm was owned by the βModel Land Companyβ. It was in fact, a βmodelβ farm; complete with greenhouses. T.H. Hastings grew a full range of vegetables and strawberries. He, also, developed a successful culture for potato production. The town of Hastings, named after T.H. Hastings became the βPotato Capital of Floridaβ. Today - in 2021 β this area still grows over 20,000 acres of potatoes each winter.

We have currently narrowed our home search to these 3 towns based on my husbands commute. The only problem is with covid and two small (unvaccinated) little ones, exploring the towns, shops, restaurants is a little daunting. I'd love to hear how people who live in these areas feel about the people, vibe and their neighbors.
We are pretty laid back people who are really active (if that even makes sense). My husband is big into BBQ and beer. I am a triathlete who loves a strong Manhattan and good restaurants in off season. Love walking and exploring and lots of parks, cool shops and fun and interesting people. Help us find out "match" town!
EDIT: will we get that neighborhood feeling with kids playing outside in any of these towns?

Who: Deanne Marie Hastings (DOB: 02/27/1980)
Deanne attended her first day of cosmetology school at Spokane's Glen Dow Academy, returned home, and then left her residence around 9:30 pm. Deanne's fiancΓ©, Mike Tibbetts, says he arrived home and found a note saying that she had ran to the store. Her credit card was used the following morning at the Latah Trading Company not too far from her residence, and surveillance video shows Deanne in the store around noon the following day. Witnesses say that Deanne was asking for help and claimed that she had been drugged and kidnapped. Police and paramedics arrived on scene, spoke with her for a while, and decided to let her go. She went inside the store, purchased vodka and birthday candles, and was seen leaving the parking lot towards a coffee shop.
Her vehicle was found parked in a parking lot in downtown Spokane, but nowhere near the Trading post or any other grocery store, and officials believe the vehicle was left there the night she disappeared.
Her purse, cellphone, and wallet were found in her vehicle, but some of her credit cards were missing. When officials tracked her financial records, they discovered that three people had been using her credit cards. All three were identified and questioned, and stated they found the cards in a coat later identified as belonging to Deanne - but no other information related to these individuals has been released.
An individual identified as Randy Riley was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property and identity theft after it was discovered he had been using her stolen credit cards. He claims that he was not involved in her disappearance. He claims that he encountered her that night while she was walking on South Inland Empire Way, and states that she was very drunk and belligerent.
Surveillance video shows Deanne walking with Riley and his friend by a nearby storage facility. Riley claims they left her on the side of the road, only 300 yards from her home. He says the following day, he found her coat along that roadside with her wallet inside, and used her cards. Riley says he threw her other cards and ID out near the deli, where they were later found, to make it look like she was still walking around. He spent a few months in jail and was released, and has not been named a suspect in the case.
It should also be noted that Deanne had a history of struggling with mental illness and had been diag
