Getting out while the getting is good

Hmm. Peoria, IL or Naples, FL…

From the armpit of IL to the cleavage of FL ... good choice, coach!

Pete Carroll-esque

Peoria has 103 shootings so far this year, 23% more than last year. It has one of the highest murder rates in the country. Breaks my heart. Was nothing like that when I lived there 40+ years ago. And the neighborhood around Peoria Central High School is ground zero for gang activity. A no-brainer. He might take a salary hit but the property taxes are much lower and no state income tax.

Surprisingly, the salary isn't too bad

School is located just west of the Lely Golf Resort development, which has a couple of the best public courses in Naples...better than cleavage.
