Keeping in mind the current situation in Tallahassee with Tax Reform  Do you support the potential of..... 1. Raising taxes to pay for the increased lanes on I-75 2. Tolls(study indiates pricing of between 8-20 cents per mile) OrIs the right answer to have Private Industry take over?  Today, during the City Council meetings the discussion came up about The Southwest Florida Expressway Authority (SWFEA) and the proposal to advance the 10 laning of I-75 in Lee and Collier Counties. The SWFEA was created by the Florida Legislature to find ways to advance construction of additional lanes on I 75 in Lee and Collier Counties. Please visit the Southwest Florida Expressway Authority( SWFEA) web page to learn about the proposal at: http://www.swfea.com/ What do you think is the BEST Choice?   06/04/2007

Today is the official start of Hurricane Season. We are now officially in our 'rainy season'. We were greeted today by Barry, a tropical storm. The experts are not expecting much punch out of Barry. He'll just give us a few inches, of actually much needed, rain. I'm not really a fan of rain. Growing up in Indiana, I used to LOVE sitting outside during thunderstorms. Here its just not the same somehow. Maybe there is a different pressure in the air or something. Maybe it's because I've been spoiled by Florida Sunshine for so long (coming up on 13 years).Either way, I just wanted to give Barry a proper introduction & thank him for taking it easy on us this first day of Hurricane Season. 06/01/2007

Click here Search Cape Coral Homes  History of Cape Coral, Florida The Seminole Indians first settled the land that was later to be known as Cape Coral.  In 1872, the U.S. Government opened the land along the banks of the Caloosahatchee River and across from Fort Myers to homesteading.  John Powell and his family were the first white settles to move to the area, which at that time was known as New Prospect.  Powell and the other homesteaders fished, hunted, farmed and raised livestock.  In addition, theses pioneers traded with Key West by schooner.  Throughout the decades, the area remained the same, a handful of settlers working the land for a living.  It was a hard life and settlers came and went, with only a few residing for more than a few years. Then, in 1957, two brothers, Leonard... 03/09/2007

                      Joe Kendall Realtor with Sandals Realty 239-560-0726 writes, the real estate market in southwest Florida has changed over the last 12 months. It is important your homes looks and shows in show case presentation ! To get it sold you need to do everything right and if you are a animal lover like myself you need to do the extra worked required to avoid possible pitfalls.  The home buyer can be intimiddated by a unwelcome jumping, biting and barking dog. I suggest having a friend watch the dog at their house when you have a showing. Leaving them in a kennel is not eliminating the possible smells, odors and signs go with visual contact a buyer has when seeing a pet. Make the kitty litter boxes go away! We can't sell it, if we can smell it! Also put away food and water b... 03/04/2007
