Question:
I'm thinking of
visiting and possibly moving to Brevard County, can you tell me
what type of place it is to live or visit?
Answer:
Brevard
County, home to Melbourne is a really nice place to visit and live.
The
area has many fun and relaxing things to do whether you
are a first time tourist
or a year-round resident. You can
enjoy the gorgeous beach sunrises, ride the
waves, collect
seashells on clean beaches, see birds and wildlife in their natural
environment and, if you're lucky enough, you might even view a
spectacular
shuttle launch. The area also offers a high
quality of life with excellent schools
and medical facilities.
Travel in and out of the area is also very convenient via
Melbourne International Airport.
Question:
What kind of
shopping and things to do are there in Melbourne?
Answer:
There
are two types of shopping you can do in Melbourne. The first is your
standard mall shopping at the Melbourne Square Mall located at
1700 W.
New Haven Ave. (contains the major chain department
stores such as
Burdine's JCPenny's etc.) However, if you
really want to get a flavor of
Melbourne the other type of
shopping is in downtown Melboune where you

along the tree-lined streets and enjoy browsing through
many of
the specialty shops, art studios, antique shops, restaurants and
playhouses.

Question:
Where are some good places to eat / drink in
downtown Melbourne?
Answer:
Meg O'malley's to drink, Island
Pasta Company to eat.
Meg O'malley's Irish Pub is a favorite with
locals (reminds you of a Cheer's
type place). They got live
music, good food, and great brews. The Island Pasta
Company is a
reasonably priced Pasta restaurant. They are both on New
Haven Ave in downtown. If you're looking for a good breakfast
place, you
can try Sue's Wangler Restaurant - as their motto says
"nothin fancy just good
food"
