Downtown:
In downtown Hillsborough NJ, you can find the local church, the local deli, Italian restaurant your Chinese take-out and the post office. Exciting huh?
Well... now I am in SW Florida and the downtown we are going to talk about now is Downtown Fort Myers. Here is a collage on my favorite places downtown.
Downtown Fort Myers has changed a lot over the past 7 years I have lived here in SW Florida. I have noticed that many of the buildings have been remodeled to "revamp" the feel of downtown. By touring the area, I found there to be many more artistic additions to downtown. In the center of my collage I have an amazing metal sculpture that is located right under the main bridge. I also have pictures taken with Edison himself, in statue form of course.
When traveling through downtown Fort Myers, I noticed that the building fronts have been dramatically improved. By doing so, the small shops look much more appealing from the street and create an environment where you want to walk through and if not shop, definitely window shop these stores.
I am pictured above in Centennial Park and also have a few pictures in there of the Ford and Edison estates.
With some research, I found that the town was originally a base ground to ward off and fight the Seminole Indians.
The link above provides information about the river district, art, music, and farmers markets and festivals.
Using the information provided in the link above, it is easy to see that Downtown Fort Myers has certainly evolved over time. This area has shown its capacity to endure the good and bad times. The fact that many of these small business have made it over the last five years shows that this district is going strong and with that, is still open and desirable to the public.
