Welcome to Bob McBride's retirement paradise. He has a nice house on waterfront property and don't forget the Harley. According to McBride, this is all possible because he and his wife decided to move to Lauderdale County.
"It's wonderful here. Every day it's like going on vacation," McBride said.
After over thirty years in law enforcement, McBride moved from Oregon to Lauderdale County, as he says, to get more for his money.
McBride says he made his investment based on his belief that the area specifically will become a hot spot for retirees looking to move.
While living in Oregon, McBride said he saw people from across the West Coast looking for a better property deal in Oregon.
For now, this retiree will continue enjoying his favorite fishing spot in peace. That is, he says, until his secret gets out.

I was born in Mississippi.My folks moved to n.j. to find jobs when I was 11.I moved to Meridian in 1987.I brought my job with me (computers). I moved around alot when I was a kid so I wanted to set down roots for my kids.I lost my job because there wasn't enought business to support me in Meridian. I could not find a job in Meridian that paid enought to support my family.I found one in Jackson and drove to Jackson and back everyday,so my kids would have roots.my kids went to college and moved away to better jobs and pay and more things to do. SO MUCH FOR ROOTS. When I retire I won't be joining Bob at the lake.I'll be moving to be near my kids. The one thing good I can say for Meridian is they got a lot of stores...
