When my husband and I sold one house and bought another, we had to live in an apartment for a while. We had to put quite a bit of stuff in storage while we lived in smaller quarters. 1st Security Self Storage seems quite secure - the manager lives on premises, there is a very tall fence around the property and everyone has to have a pass code to enter. Our only problem was that we did have some rat and bug damage.

Our cars were sanded by the flying shingles from our neighbor's roof during the past season's hurricanes. This included the windows and light covers. The crew at 64 West did a flawless job replacing the fenders and grill, repainting the cars, replacing the windows and generally repairing the damage. With all the extras we had to buy during the three hurricanes and decreased income due to work time lost, we had a hard time paying our deductible and they were great about working with us until we could pay that in full.

Being located on Main Street makes this food store very convenient. I think it's owned by the same people who own Main Street Car Care but they do have separate gasoline pumps. This makes getting gas and running into the convenience store even easier. Prices for gas are in the mid range. I wouldn't do my grocery shopping here, but it is convenient sometimes.

Allstate has been my insurance company since 1987. I've had one auto accident since then and Allstate came through with flying colors. We also had damage to our car after last year's hurricanes passed through and Allstate helped get our cars repaired with ease. However, we're still waiting for a check after approximately six months. We've called Allstate's office several times and they don't seem to be following through.
It seems if the going is smooth when a claim is filed, then everything will work out great. But if something goes awry after a claim is filed, it is difficult to get Allstate's office to follow through.

I got into a difficult situation and needed to borrow some money. The amount wasn't enough to necessitate a bank loan and I didn't want to ask my family for a loan. Some friends suggested that I go to AMSCOT. Because of all the negative things I'd always heard about them, I was afraid to go there; however, I didn't have much alternative. I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the people working there were. They didn't ask why I needed to borrow the money and didn't lecture me about managing my money better (as my family might have). In the end, it was a pleasant experience. AMSCOT helped me get through a difficult time in my life and made the situation a little easier for me.
I've been back since then to "buy" money orders, which are FREE.

Although I have a heck of a time communicating with the people who work here, I do like their fruits and veggies. I've been buying from them for years and years. They used to be one of the produce stands out in front of what was Wal-Mart then Tractor Supply and most recently the temporary Post Office. They've been at their present location, beside Burger King, for several years now. While I think their prices are a bit high, I can sometimes find good deals on damaged or stuff that's beginning to get too ripe.

More
Several families in our community have worked to make our local ARC a vital part of our area for almost 50 years. This facility allows mentally retarded adults to earn a living and helps many of them learn the skills they need to live independently. The people who work here make sprinklers for the many citrus growing businesses here in Central Florida. ARC also oversees several group homes in Highlands County and helps place developmental disabled adults in jobs within the community. It is an excellent organization which has helped our family more than once.
