Today brought me to the areas of high society and the circles they seem to run with. I was driving on an extended roadtrip to Spa City... that's Hot Springs, Arkansas for those who aren't familiar with it. There is plenty of folk lore in the town as it has been the a city for those who seek refuge and have a wish to be pampered. I have even heard rumors of various unnamed politicians smoking a jay in clubs and picking up ladies of the night. So, my journey brought me here to help someone move... This wasn't just a routine move because it included disassembling shipping crates, unpacking boxes, and many many hours of manual labor.

This journey reminded me of an episode of Storage Wars. Condominiums have always been a fascination with me and I have had many relatives and friends purchase them. Most of them are set back in the city in their own subdivisions. For instance, the one in which I ventured to was complete with beautiful ponds, a golf course, and a lake in which the homes were situated on. I always tend to try and speak with people whom are inhabitants to a particular location to gain a sense of story, passion, and draw my conclusions from there.

The demographics in which I drew in the majority of clients I have served and the relatives that are "condominium friendly" have been several. Most are drawn to the lifestyle of housing in which is maintained for a fee.... which is similar to apartments... however one must purchase a condo as they would a home.

My travels led me to a complex which was meticulously maintained, safe, and some of the tightest security in which I have encountered. The décor in the home was very cultural and included various hand carved pieces from overseas and some of furniture which severely ended in a sore back.

In conclusion... What do you look for in a place? In travel locations, in which people seem to settle down include places of solitude, quiet, and security.... especially in those who have retired or in the age bracket of valuing a low maintenance and carefree lifestyle.
