North Port is not like Punta Gorda at all, and they are neighbors.

PG has charm to it. North Port has bedrooms and chain stores/eats. Not much of that here.

Unincorporated PG, which I'm a part of, is different. And it's weird because UPG is in Charlotte County, while we are in Lee (barely). Not sure how they pulled off that address back in the day. I'm sure Cape Coral would love to claim Burnt Store Marina as its own.

There are about 12,000 new homes that were just approved along Burnt Store Road, with commercial tracts, which will be nice for us. Construction is raging.

We ventured down to Punta Gorda and walked and drove around a bit, the day was nice, had a fairly decent lunch somewhere overlooking the water.  

We drove up to Venice another day and had a pretty good lunch there at Dockside Waterfront Grill.  That was one of the better places I've found.

I agree there isn't much to North Port, I was just noting the extensive residential developments going up in the general area.

They have had two fantasy camps the past two years and I did both with two days in between to try and recover.  That's when we mosey around some.  I'm only doing one this year.  My arm was cooked after the first camp last year.  We'll probably come down a day early in 2025 as they have a get together at a pretty nice beer place in Port Charlotte that caters to veterans.

I was in Chicago when you were here last. I will not be in 2025.

Did you go on to Captain's Table on Fisherman's Village, or Laishley Crab House?

I think we dined at the Captain's Table.  I recall having real fresh fish circa 1980 in Florida and can't find its equal today.

All sorts of excellent seafood here in Texico, despite my former California colleague insisting this state is "land-locked."  Lulz.

These units are in my development. They are nice, but most need updating. And look at that HOA. Plus, after Ian, each owner was hit with a $70K special assessment for repairs. These buildings took a big hit.

This guy is NOT getting $895K for this place. No way.

Our current home, the ridiculously too-large 3800 sqft monster, we bought in 2012 for around $400,000, and an identical home around the block recently sold for a bit over $1M.  It's definitely following the overall Austin area's trajectory as far as home prices.  I'd never claim anything modest about this house, but I expect Bill Gates would find it to be pretty modest.  It's all relative.

My old house just went up for sale. I bought it for $470K at the end of 2010. It's listed for $989K.
It appears I might have to resort to a life of crime if I plan on moving. I'm sure they'll find me a "Big House" with a yard if I do. Hopefull there'll be members of congress & corporate as neighbors

You don't want to move here anyway.  Kidney thieves, inside-out mist, beer is illegal, ugly coeds.

I posted an article about how many credit card holders are "maxed out", and how many are young.  Combine that with student debt and whatever else and I see a serious problem, perhaps the impact is yet to hit.  The currrent economy seems to be held up by consumer spending, and that could tail off quickly of course.
