NOYB wrote: "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... The road is old and overutilized. Kind of like the vaginal orifice on an old whore, eh? Kind of like all of Florida, eh? Everything in Naples is new...but it is overutilized. That's odd. You sure try hard to push Naples as the best place in the world. Well, you are wrong, as usual: On the way to Naples' historic Pier is Palm Cottage, built in 1895 and reputedly Naples' oldest house, where guided tours are offered in season. Other historic buildings include the Naples Commissary Building in Olde Naples, dating back to 1903, and the renovated Naples Depot (1927), once the Naples Train Station and now displaying a caboose and other railroad memorabilia. History buffs will also find much of interest at the Collier County Museum, which houses a permanent collection from Prehistoric times through to the present day. You will learn about the early Indian settlements here and may wish to go on to visit an Indian Village in the area, where genuine Indian, hand-crafted artifacts are sold. Why not just post the web site from which you plagiarized your information? http://www.naples-florida.com/quicktour/history.htm Good day, and Happy New Year! John H Why do so? NOYB won't believe it anyway! He only believes what he wants to believe. I've been to Naples. Many times. I know people who's families have lived in Naples for generations. It's just like the time that NOYB was trying to tell everyone here that Naples doesn't have swampbillies. Naples doesn't have swampbillies. Perhaps you're referring to Golden Gate Estates? Yes, it has a Naples mailing address...but it's not the same Naples that a couple hundred thousand snowbirds come down to visit every year. The median home price in Naples is just a hair under $400,000. Swampbillies don't buy $400,000 homes. You obviously haven't been to Naples in a long time...probably not since you worked parking lot security when the Wal-Mart was being built. I thought a swampbilly was a homeless person who lived in your part of the country... If being homeless is the definition of a "swampbilly", then Naples has no "swampbillies". I have never seen a homeless person in Naples. Then you are a blind man. There are no homeless people in the sense that there are folks sleeping on the street. There are homeless people in shelters down here, no doubt. Coming back from a cruise to the Bahamas last week, I was astounded at the number of homeless folks in the neighborhood around Capt. Harry's tackle in Miami...which is just a couple of blocks from the American Airlines (or whatever they call it now) Arena and the waterfront. It's also on the cusp of an area that has undergone a lot of change, and there is a homeless mission not far from the store...or there was. It's still there. Right across the street from Capt. Harry's. Methinks you're just one of those good Christian Americans who have no idea about the poverty in their communities. The poverty rate in Naples city rose 50% between 1990 and 1996, and is now about the same as the rest of Florida, excluding Miami, which has a higher rate because of factors unique to it. Your poverty rate is about 10%. Where are you getting your data? When you say "now", are you referring to 2000 census data? Things have changed quite a bit in 5 years. Is the data specific to Naples? Or is it for all of Collier County, which includes several poor communities like Immokalee, Everglades City, and Chokoloskee? Regardless, living blow the level of poverty isn't the the same thing as being homeless. All homeless folks are below the poverty level, but not everyone who is below the poverty level is homeless. Sheesh. You live there and you're in the healing arts and you don't know there are homeless in your town? I had no problem getting hits on "Naples" "Homeless," and these were both in the city and in the county. Both are your area. He's grasping at straws, trying to uphold his beloved Naples. Look at the previous post, first, he said there are no homeless, then, well, there IS, but they're in shelters. Truth is, there ARE homeless there, but they don't frequent HIS idea of Naples. You see, he also changed the geographical limits of Naples in his mind, so it appears as nothing short of Nirvana. It is Nirvana. And the high demand for real estate proves it. |
