Who's going to the Florida show?

Sharpie · 06-25-2006

I live on the West Coast of Florida, in a preplanned city that is only at 50% of it's growth capacity. When I first arrived, it was mind boggling to see miles of 4 lane boulevards where there wasn't even houses or businesses yet. Except for the major business district - the traffic is aggressive and it MOVES. The Cape does have a lot of winter inhabitants, but overall, it is mostly families and working people. It is not a 'beachy community, it is a water community with miles of canals.

I love the sunshine and the fact that I have a boat - 20 ft. from my back door. The fact that Cape Coral has been one the top 5 fastest growing cities for the last 3 years, does mean that the day will come that my quiet slice of Paradise (although a very good investment) will become traffic infested. But, for now - it is quiet, serene and pure pleasure:-)
