Welcome. There are lots of car clubs here and I'm sure we'll see you around. Need help? Just ask. Everybody's good about lending a hand when needed.
Just don't come down here driving like a dammn Yankee, okay?

I just did your same move a couple of months ago! I was up near Salem, MA and moved back to Florida. I was only up there about a year, but got treated to the worst winter of my life! It is beautiful up there though
You'll love it down here though if you're sick of the snow and cold weather!

Welcome. I did that move back in 89, Painted for a living in NYC for 10 years. Changed proffessions 2 x's since living here. Painting Commercial or residential? I did the commercial stuff up north, Unions and all. I couldn't get a start down here though so I went into other things at the time. I would look into the big hotel chains for paint work as they need to be kept in tip top shape at all times. Also residential & commercial construction is evident down here now so I would guess they would be looking for help. Good luck.
