There have been a couple of times when I've really needed a tire but couldn't afford new tires. You know, a used tire to get me by until I could afford a nice new tire. Florida Tire Terminal has always been willing to sell me a used tire to get me through. They have never pressured me to spend more money than I had and have never made me feel like a bad person because I couldn't afford a new tire. They are in the back half of the building which sits on Main Street between the two sets of railroad tracks, so they can be a little difficult to find.

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.

Bill Stephenson and his wife spend many, many hours gathering, organizing and distributing food, clothing, household articles and all the other items that the Church Service Center provides to people in need. When my husband was injured at work, there was a time when we needed food and the Church Service Center helped us out. Their help was given without judgment and they didn't ask for anything in return. The Stephensons are good, kind people - the kind of people this world needs more of.

Although I don't attend Faith Temple Ministries, I have a daughter-in-law who does. This is a nondenominational church with a congregation that is on fire for the Lord. They are problem solvers and solution finders. For instance, when they could not find a meeting place that they could afford, they bought the old movie theatre downtown and converted it to the church building. They saved the theatre and are saving lives on a regular basis.

After my husband died, I had Lawler Wells take over the job of maintaining the sprinkler system in and maintenance of my large yard. He did an excellent job keeping everything looking lush and beautiful. When I moved to a smaller home on a smaller lot, Lawler resodded the lot and refurbished the sprinkler system. Although I think he is overpriced, he does do an excellent job.

My husband once had his own business. He was dependent on our family diesel van for picking up and delivering items for his business. When the van broke down and wouldn't run, we could not take it to a dealership to have it repaired because we didn't have the money. Mr. Chesnutt was willing to fix the van and allow us to make payments on the repair. He did an excellent job and we didn't have anymore problems with the van.

From summer youth camps to senior programs, they've got it all at South Florida Community College! South Florida Community College is a public community college serving DeSoto, Hardee, and Highlands Counties. It consists of several schools - the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Applied Sciences and Technologies, and the School of Adult and Community College. I've enjoyed several community college programs.
My favorite is the music program. The college is the sponsor of the SFCC Community Orchestra and the SFCC Highlands County Concert Band. These community music groups provide a forum for local musicians to share their talents. Concerts are held in the 1,500 seat auditorium.

Fernagh Bed and Breakfast is a small exclusive establishment offering just two 2 rooms. One is on the ground floor with a queen size bed and the other is on the first floor with 2 twin beds.
They are an ideal location for any business man who wants a quiet place and a safe stop over with great amenities. They also cater to those who want a relaxing retreat where all the hubbub of the tourist world can be easily reached.
Their policies are standard except perhaps for the following:
Adults only
Maximum 2 people per room
No pets
They also have a coffee shop on the property.

We needed a driveway extension poured and a concrete pad poured for a shed. Both of these projects were on a steeply sloped lot, which ran down to Lake Verona. No one would be able to drive a concrete truck down to the points where we needed the concrete poured. Our contractor called Jahna Concrete because he knew they would be able to do this difficult job without a problem and they proved him right. Whether you need concrete poured or concrete blocks for a commercial or residential job, Jahna's the company to call!

My first complaint with NAPA Auto Parts is the choice of colors they painted their building. Our town has a Main Street program and is trying to improve the look of our downtown area. There is a paint color code the stores were supposed to follow, however, NAPA decided they would not stick to those colors and painted their building a hideous cobalt blue and bright yellow. Before Avon Park adopted the Main Street program, NAPA's building had been painted in understated colors. Since NAPA cares so little about the community to whom they are selling, I will no longer do business with NAPA. I also feel NAPA's prices are higher than Advanced Discount Auto Parts, which is a little farther from home. I choose Advanced Discount Auto Parts, though, because I think their prices are lower and their service is more personal.
