Panama City leads nation in divorce

[Kurt]

According to Daily Beast.

Panama City is divorce capital of America

"We were interested in where divorce has been the most common this year and we did that two ways. We looked at the percent of population in each city that was divorced currently and the number of divorces that occurred in 2009," said Daily Beast Reporter, Lauren Streib.
The Daily Beast says Panama City leads the nation for the worst divorce rates with 15.5 percent of the population divorced.
Four Florida cities made the top 10 and 11 made the top 50. Local experts say there may be good reasons for the trend.
"People come to the state of Florida for opportunity, for jobs or to get away from their past life. I have people come in frequently to see me who have moved here and are trying to fix their marriage and they think moving here for some reasons going to help," said Marriage Counselor, Dr. Joel Prather.
But reality is, when people get here, most soon realize they brought their marital problems with them.
"A lot of people come here thinking they're going to get things fixed because they moved to the beaches and it's beautiful and nice and the problems are still there. And one other factor you probably would have to consider in the Panama City Beach area is this is kind of a party place and sometimes partying too much gets in the way of relationships," said Dr. Prather.

There is some special reason why people go there to get divorced - Tiger and Elin got divorced in PC.

Yeah, a lot of people who live there are laughing on the outside, and frying on the inside. You know that thread about Seaside/Panama Ciy? Well it's not the scenery, the architecture or the activities that makes South Walton superior, it's the people!

really interesting data. We spend a lot of time in PCB with swim team and also just shopping, skating, bowling, dining, mini golf, etc. Lots and lots of families and children, it seems to be a very family-oriented kind of town.

there is that partying that goes on on the coast, year round... not just in PCB either!

Based on you and some of the other sock puppets on here views I'll gladly pass on your offer to meet.

Everyone is slightly more superior than anyone else in one way or another. You should probably stick with your mega rich low key friends.
