Merritt Island, FL

It has been a while since the last time I posted here. I have been kinda busy with my full-time work, and at the same time, trying to be a good wife, neighbor, friend and relative to my in-laws. Tonight, I want to share to you a little information about the place where my husband and I are living right now. It is called Merritt Island, Florida.
.
Merritt Island is a census-designated place in Brevard County, Florida, United States. It is located on the east coast of the state on the Atlantic Ocean. As of the 2000 census, the population was 36,090. The name "Merritt Island" also refers to the extent of the former island, which is now a peninsula.
.
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center are located on the northern part of Merritt Island. The area is heavily residential, with centralized light commercial and light industrial areas.

I love being here. It is not much different from where I came from. But sad to say that a lot of people said that the economy here will soon drop down due to the possibility of shutting down of Kennedy Space Center, which has brought a good number of business and tourist from all over the world. People had started to get ready whenever this would happen. I don't know so much about this, but I hope that everything will be good from Merritt Island.
