san francisco’s color, excitement, power, freedom

The things that spell San Francisco to me are disappearing fast... I should have liked to have lived here then — color, excitement, power, freedom.

Gavin Elster, in Hitchock’s Vertigo

why did i move to san francisco? that’s no easy question. any response with a grain of truth would necessarily have to encompass the whole of my life up to that point: my relationship to the many past versions of myself, that kept going on in phantom vectors around boston (around the world too, i suppose). ghosts of who i could have become, or did become from other points of view than my own. i kept running into them around town, having to momentarily conjoin myself to their rotting corpses, impersonate them for a conversation, a date, a family party. boston became my personal necropolis.

i felt that i had to leave, but i didn’t know where. for years i had constructed cities in my mind, illusory ones that corresponded to real ones. built brick by brick from the ground up on illusions and partial truths, borrowed histories that meant nothing to me. i had never really been to san francisco, only briefly, i think but am not sure, a decade before.

i believed in the mythos of california. its perfect temperance, its embracing blue. the fog and natural wonder. the slow-motion container ships gliding across the untroubled bay; sailboats skittering between the bridges, bay and golden gate. the city by the bay, fenced in by those famous bridges, hulking up close but filigree and precious from afar. down the peninsula’s hitchhiker thumb, the future was being built from binary zeroes and ones down in silicon valley. where apple orchards grew and steinbeck’s heroes lived and died. the gold rush that drew thousands, and after that just the golden idea of opportunity, acceptance, an amnesia for history that felt like freedom. i became enamored with the idea of this city without ever having visited, a vision of the west that felt pristine but possible.

so i decided to move here. it was as simple as that. sight unseen, i set in motion the series of cogs that became an unstoppable inertia. that was when i first watched hitchcock’s Vertigo.

my visions of san francisco became suffuse with a new mystery and wonder. the fog filtered vistas that wove together the present with romantic past. the knowing coit tower watching down from telegraph hill. the city’s most iconic resident, spanning a misty expanse in intercontinental orange, in a constant state of repaint, connecting the city’s balk and bustle to the quiet idylls of marin.

in the north the rolling hills of chapparal, thistle, and fescue, in alternating states of electric lush, and a dusty cash-green. down south of the city, misty coastlines fringed with the twisted bodies of cypress, sequoia, and wild succulent where scottie and madeleine shared a blustery kiss. off to the east the dusky mauve of shimmering oakland and berkeley lights in the pale gradient of an opposing sunset. in the city, i crisscrossed dramatic hills, up and down california and grant avenues, following the celluloid dream of madeleine’s green jaguar. from the brocklebank down to the baldocchi podesta florist, and then south into that hazy garden cemetery at the mission dolores, painted in a heavy honied sunlight. (madeleine... even her name a proustian evocation of the idealized past, a delicate cookie dipped in a limeleaf tisane). from these familar sites, always present on the horizon the metallic monolith of the newly constructed salesforce tower, the tallest building in the west. san francisco came to contain all these things, romance and mystery, opportunity, power, freedom, color, and excitement.

on my first visit, in the last week of july 2017, i stayed with a friend in her basement apartment in the presidio’s cold forested corner. i woke early each day to see the golden gate in her matinal beauty, only to look into a thick fortress of fog, ice cold in july. walking down market, i felt adrift in a strange place, a sort of wideopen urban chaosphere. dirty sidewalks beneath the glassy greens of newly built condos, astride the stubborn storefronts of citylife, grimey with age. scuzzy Ace Hardwares and Safeways, and suddenly empty boutique clothiers and breezy cafes with vines creeping wall and ceiling. the city’s homeless in various states of filth and health, screaming at no one, or at this everywhere embodiment of having been left behind. techies and yuppies in uniforms of lycra and Patagonia fleece and down, on motorizedmaking knightsmoves around them scooters and skateboards. Google, Facebook, Stripe, Square, little primary colored emblems figured on their otherwise homogeneous attire, designed for comfort and conformity. wedged between the in- and out-bound market street traffic, half-empty cable cars chuffed along the city’s main artery. conveyance too slow for san franciso’s frenzied denizens, but still a thread connecting this gritty and real city to that other san francisco that throbbed, i believed, beneath the surface, one that connected past, present, and future.

then, san francisco was an escape for me into the unknown. an escape i felt that i needed, an opportunity to shirk previous versions of myself that haunted me around boston. i felt like “a boat against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." my life in boston was a happy one, more or less, but i had a yearning that the city and state of my birth could not sate. a personal manifest destiny that drew me westward.

in these two years, the city has changed in many ways for me, from a place obscured with cinematic romance and mystery, to one with very real difficulties, discomforts, doubts and despairs about the present and future, but opportunities too. new impulses, desires, connections, even in this place that so often defrauds human connection with interfaces and monetization schemes. in california there are many wanderers, is it true, what madeleine warns, that “only one is a wanderer... two are always going somewhere?” i wonder are we all wandering alone in the west? what are we seeking? are we seeking an impossible illusion, that exists only in our individual imaginations or in idealized “portals to the past,” like scottie rambling the hills and valleys of the city in search of his own lost ideals? or are we all, in our own way, going somewhere together, toward some unified and glorious ideal, a future forged of bits and bytes in the smithy by the bay?

Moving To Naples Florida

Once numbering as many as 10,000 people, the Calusa were ruled by a single chief, supported a nobility and strong military force, dug canals, built huge mounds of shell and earth for their temples and important buildings, and collected tribute from towns and villages reaching all the way across southern Florida to the Atlantic.

Known as the Paradise Coast, Collier County has more than 30 miles of sandy white beaches. Once, the only people to stroll Naples' seven miles of white, sandy beaches, were the Caloosa Indians. Collier County had grown from 85,971 residents in 1980 to 251,377 residents in 2000—and to 322,739 by 2010.

The Naples area is home to several major land reserves, including the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Everglades National Park , Big Cypress National Preserve , Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge, and Picayune Strand State Forest The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is known not only for its 11,000 acres (45 km2) of landscape and wildlife, but for a two and a half-mile long boardwalk winding through the sanctuary.

Because of its vast areas of undeveloped preserve lands, Collier County is the primary habitat for the severely endangered Florida panther(Florida's state animal), which roams through the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Collier-Seminole State Park.

The Gulf Coast portion of the Everglades is the only place on earth where alligators and crocodiles cohabitate and is also home to North America's largest continuous mangrove forest. According to Smart-Zip, there are 78 golf courses in Collier County—one for every 4,418 residents.

Choose from charming beach cottages, towering beachfront condominiums, custom architectural masterpieces, contemporary single-family homes, condos, villas, carriage and town homes in gated, master-planned communities; expansive horse farms, and manufactured homes.

The 729,000 acre preserve allows more recreational activities than a National Park, such as hunting and off road vehicle use. When considering living in Naples you may be wavering between the Gulf Coast and the East Coast of Florida. The Second List: Here's a typical Pro Con list from someone who's lived in Florida a few years or longer and the honeymoon is over because they know what living in Florida is really like (for them).

The area's unrivaled sport fishing, hunting, boating, sun bathing, and beach combing attract people today just as it did a century ago. Hikers taking ranger-guided swamp walks in Big Cypress National Preserve and Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park are often surprised by the relatively pleasant conditions in the area's cypress swamps.

Naples (as well as much of Florida) is made up of retirees who don't have kids in school and don't support politically the schools, especially issues that impact taxes. Naples along with the Everglades and Marco Island are known as the Paradise Coast. College choices include Hodges University and Florida South-Western State College (formerly Edison State College), which are in town, as well as Florida Gulf Coast University, which is just a 30-minute drive away.

Several cottages were built by Haldeman and a lot of his early guests were his employees or friends. Some of the best beaches in the county include Naples beach with its iconic pier stretching 1,000 feet into the Gulf of Mexico and Barefoot Beach Preserve which was ranked #2 on Dr. Beach's Top Ten USA Beaches for 2015.

There are approximately 100 art galleries in the greater Naples area, extending from Gallery Row in downtown Naples all the way out to the Big Cypress Gallery in the Everglades - the studio of famed black and white nature photographer Clyde Butcher, known as the Ansel Adams of the Everglades” for his stunning, large format black & white Everglades landscapes.

The world class Artis-Naples, home to the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra and concert hall and the Baker Museum of Art, has helped put Naples on the map as a premiere cultural destination, as have the area's many nationally recognized art festivals. Specific schools, yes, but the school system in general has a poor reputation-especially comparing it to the NE or MW. No one moves to Florida for the schools.

And housing … $350,000 will buy you a spacious three-bedroom, two-bath, pool home with a lake or golf course view in Naples, but it will barely afford you a one-room, closet-sized apartment in Manhattan, a cozy two-bedroom condo in Chicago , plus you'd have to shell out an additional $30,000 for a parking spot, or a 1960s, two-bedroom ranch with about 1,000 square feet of living in Napa, California.

Naples Florida is a tropical paradise with its sugar sand beaches fine dinning and fine art scene. This makes Naples a magnet no many seeking that tropical sun soaked lifestyle. Many Florida Moving Companies offer their biggest discount during off peak season which is October - March so plan accordingly.

Reflections at the alligator pond.

My wife and I were social distancing before we knew there was such a thing.

Before the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S., I made an all-day social distancing trip to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. It was a mere hour’s drive from our winter hideout on Amelia Island, Florida.

I invited my lovely wife to accompany me. Having already visited there briefly with friends, Neva declined. Her aversion to snakes and reptiles made that an easy decision. However, I wanted to explore the place more thoroughly.

I didn’t mind going solo at all. We each believe that doing our own thing has contributed to the longevity and quality of our marriage. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere.

You might know the refuge by its more colloquial name, Okefenokee Swamp. That is what the locals call it. Take a tour, however, and you will quickly learn that Okefenokee isn’t a swamp at all.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Native Americans gave the sprawling area the name centuries ago. In English, Okefenokee means “land of the trembling earth.” The moniker fits. In the less disturbed marshy areas, the land beneath reverberates with each step you take.

Okefenokee has been a national wildlife refuge since 1937. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1974.

Much more than a shallow blackwater swamp, the 403,000 acres that comprise Okefenokee are a beautiful blend of hammock forests, creeks, wetland prairies, and cypress groves. Altogether, they serve as the headwaters for both the Suwannee River and the St. Mary’s River, which marks the Florida/Georgia boundary.

My heart jumped when I saw this woodpecker land on the trunk of this longleaf pine. It was a yellow-bellied sapsucker.

I arrived mid-morning under hazy, smoky skies in early February. My main objective was to find the elusive and rare red-cockaded woodpecker. Okefenokee is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the endangered bird.

I drove down the eerily lovely Swamp Island Drive in search of the woodpecker. I had never seen one, and after spending the morning trying, I still haven’t. I did see plenty of nest holes high up in the longleaf pine trunks.

I wasn’t disappointed. Just being among all the beauty and the sounds and earthy fragrances of nature was sufficient.

Hundreds of sandhill cranes cackled unseen in the wetlands beyond the pines that surrounded a small pond. An alligator laid like a fallen log on the pond’s far lip. A brown-headed nuthatch foraged on a tree trunk only four feet from me.

Bigger alligators rested roadside along shallow ditches. I found it surprising how much the vegetation changed at the slightest rise or dip in elevation. The scenery was stunning despite the gray overcast sky and smoke from a nearby forest fire.

On the Suwannee Canal.

Red-shouldered Hawk.

The snake.

The tour boat.

The wetland prairie.

Sunning.

Spanish moss.

Hazy sky.

Only a few feet from the boardwalk trail, alligators absorbed whatever warmth the day offered. Neva would not have approved. By the time I reached the observation tower, the sandhill cranes had quieted and were out of sight.

I learned much more about Okefenokee on the afternoon boat tour. Our guide explained that the deepest water was only four feet. The vast geologic basin was filled with peat, which is why it quivered when stepped upon.

Our small flat-bottom boat cruised between stands of cypress graciously draped with Spanish moss, which isn’t a moss at all. Huge alligators lounged along the way, while a highly venomous water moccasin soaked in the filtered sunshine. Red-shouldered hawks screeched from high perches on old snags.

As I headed back to our condo, I savored the day that had buoyed me. For Neva and me, that style of social distancing helps enrich both our individuality and our affinity.

A cypress grove along the Suwannee Canal.

Uniquely charming, $1.1M Buckhead traditional has expansion inspired by a book

The charming dormers and detailing at 714 East Paces Ferry Road NE, with Buckhead’s Sovereign condo tower peeking over the trees. | Keller Williams Realty Peachtree Road

This Peachtree Park five-bedroom invites Atlantans to have their own Affair with a House

This updated traditional from 1936 in Buckhead’s Peachtree Park could appeal to Atlanta homebuyers whose idea of bliss involves copper guttering, slate roofing, arched doorways, and pecky cypress.

Blending a certain storybook quality with contemporary restraint, the expanded five-bedroom, four-bathroom property stands just south of Lenox Square, tucked between Piedmont Road and Ga. Highway 400.

Beyond the original structure, an addition by Atlanta-based architect Norman Askins was styled after the 18th century Connecticut manor home that renowned interior designer Bunny Williams chronicled in her 2005 design book An Affair with a House.

That additional space brought the square footage to 4,034 across three stories.

The front living room, off a small foyer, with original arched doorways.

The listing’s description of “special” would seem to apply to various aspects of the property, from the tastefully updated rooms of the original structure, to the convenient (if not totally necessary) dual kitchens, and the airy sunroom, with its heated floors to counter a winter’s chill outside so many windows.

Even the heated pool—and adjacent pool house—looks stylistically on point.

Listings indicate the home has been offered as a $4,700 monthly rental, but Keller Williams Realty Peachtree Road listed it this week for $1.1 million.

A side entry of the home leads to this main-level office space, and then on to formal dining.

A secondary catering kitchen in the main part of the home.

The Peacock Pavers flooring in the huge sunroom, connecting old spaces with new, is heated.

Pecky cypress ceilings from south Georgia top the chef’s kitchen and back family room. The kitchen also features a Sub-Zero fridge, wine cooler, Meile dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel drawers, a Wolf range with double gas ovens, and Carrera marble counters.

A barrel ceiling and sitting room in the master.

Traditional styling didn’t skip the regal master bathroom.

French doors in the family room lead to a covered porch, formal gardens, and the heated pool, with a side yard and pool house nearby.

Save the dates: Spring design calendar filled with home tours

By Diane Cowen

Spring weekends in Houston are filled with home-related events, from home and garden shows to architecture and history tours and shopping events.

Design in Bloom brings a panel of national speakers to talk about architecture, design and, of course, floral design March 24. The following weekend is filled with home tours, ranging from modern homes to downtown lofts and more historic homes in Woodland Heights. Texas Antiques Week in Round Top is a shopper’s delight, and the April and May bring more home tours.

Get your calendar out; it’s time to save a few dates.

Home and Outdoor Living Shows

The TexWoods series of home and outdoor living shows is underway, with a new HTown event at Silver Street Studios in First Ward. Hours are 9 a.m.- 6 p.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Sundays. (Note: I’ll be a speaker at the HTown and Lake Houston shows, speaking about design styles each day at 12:30 p.m.) At all shows, admission is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and children 12 and under are free. Here’s the spring lineup:

HTown: March 7-8 at Silver Street Studios at Sawyer Yards, 2000 Edwards. Speakers include Laura Dowling, who was the chief

Cy-Fair: March 21-22 at the Berry Center, 8877 Barker Cypress. Events include floral design workshops by Ashley Wallace of The Tallest Tulip.

Lake Houston: March 28-29 at the Humble Civic Center, 8233 Will Clayton Parkway. Speakers include Dr. Lori’s Antiques Appraisal Comedy Show.White House floral designer for six years of the Obama administration.

Design in Bloom

This year’s Design in Bloom event, in conjunction with Texas Design Week, brings Flower magazine editor-in-chief Margot Shaw, Nashville interior designer Ray Booth, Atlanta architect Bobby McAlpine, Lexington, Ky., landscape architect Jon Carloftis and New York floral designer Lewis Miller together for panel discussions, book signings and floral demonstrations.

When: 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. March 24

Where: Houston Design Center, 7026 Old Katy Road (in various showrooms)

Tickets: $10-$100; DesigninBloomHouston.com

Downtown Houston Home & Lifestyle Tour

The Houston Downtown Management District will hold its second annual home tour on March 28. The self-guided tour takes you into residences in Bayou Lofts, Commerce Towers, Camden Downtown, Franklin Lofts, Kirby Lofts on Main, St. Germain Lofts and Condos at The Star. Park at One Market Square Garage (800 Preston) for $5 and a courtesy shuttle will take you to participating properties. There will be live music 11 a.m.-2 p.m.at Market Square Park, a lobby tour of the Niels and Mellie Esperson Buildings from noon to 3 p.m. and pop-up art shows by Rachel Schwind Gardner and Felipe Lopez all day at Franklin Lofts.

When: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. March 28

Where: Start from Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene in the W.L. Foley Building, 214 Travis

Tickets: $25 in advance, $35 tour day; livedowntownhouston.org

MA+DS 10th annual Houston Modern Home Tour

While there’s plenty of traditional home construction under way, contemporary and modern homes are increasing in popularity and the Modern Architecture + Design Society’s annual tour will open six new examples of cutting-edge residential architecture to the public. Showcased architects include 2Scale Architects, studioMET, Intexure Architects and Boxprefab, On Point Custom Homes and Fifty Seventh + 7th by Carnegie Homes. It’s a great chance to meet the architects and designers who worked on the homes.

When: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. March 28

Where: 1129 W. Pierce (2Scale Architects); 4038 Falkirk (studioMET architects); 5612 Blossom (Intexure + Boxprefab); 2514 Avalon Place (Fifty Seventh + 7th by Carnegie Homes); 2300 South Boulevard (On Point Custom Homes); and 2235 Colquitt (Scott Ballard Architect)

Tickets: $15-40 in advance, $50 at the door on tour day; mads.media

Woodland Heights Home Tour

Homes built from the 1910s through the 1920s plus a few more current construction will be among the eight open to the public on the annual Woodland Heights Home Tour. The neighborhood began in 1907 as a streetcar suburb to Houston’s downtown and was valued for its easy access to Highland Park — now called Woodland Park. The neighborhood is busier now, but retains much of its century-old charm.

Texas Antiques Week

Round Top and surrounding small towns fill with visitors for Texas Antiques Week shopping that now lasts much longer than a week. Stalwarts such as the Original Round Top Antiques Fair and Marburger Farm Antique Show stagger their dates from March 30-April 4, but other shops, Excess Fields and pop-up tents open at least a couple of weeks prior. Head there early to avoid long lines of cars on Texas 237. Wear sunscreen and comfortable shoes and take cash since WiFi there is sketchy and vendors’ credit card apps don’t always work.

The Original Round Top Antiques Fair: 9 a.m.-1 p.m. VIP admission, 1-6 p.m. general admission March 30; 9 a.m.-6 p.m. March 31; 9 a.m.-5 p.m. April 1-4.

Marburger Farm Antique Show: Early buying 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and general admission 2-6 p.m. March 31; 9 a.m.-5 p.m. April 1-3; and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. April 4. Early buying $25; general admission $10; roundtop-marburger.com; 2248 Texas 237, Round Top

The Compound Antique Show: 9:30 a.m.-6 p.m. daily. 2550 S. Texas 237, Round Top; admission is free; roundtopcompound.com

Rice Design Alliance Architecture Tour

Rice Design Alliance is still firming up its roster for the 2020 Architecture Tour, themed “Upwards.” This tour is always highly anticipated, featuring some of the most interesting homes in the city on timely topics. The alliance will share more information on homes and tickets soon, but for now you can set these dates aside.

When: 1-6 p.m. April 25-26

Tickets: Information coming soon.

Milieu Designer Showhouse

Milieu magazine is hosting its first Designer Showhouse, a 7,400-square-foot Edwin Lutyens-style home built by Jennifer Hamelet Mirador Builders. Top designers from the U.S., Canada and Europe — including Kathryn Ireland, Lisa Fine, Carol Glasser and Jennifer Vaughn Miller — will design the interiors. Milieu, a luxury shelter and lifestyle magazine, was founded in 2013 by Houston interior designer Pamela Pierce. The showhome event will benefit Clayton Dabney for Kids with Cancer, a group that provides assistance to families with children who have cancer.

When: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. April 25-26 and May 2-3

Where: 3736 Del Monte

Tickets: $200 in advance ($250 day of); tour admission $35; milieu-mag.com or at the door

Galveston Historic Homes Tour

The Galveston Historical Foundation’s annual home tour is must for history buffs and for newcomers to the area who want to learn more about the Gulf Coast’s architectural history. Galveston is a tourism city now, but it was once a thriving port city where merchants built beautiful Victorian and Queen Anne-style homes, grand examples and bungalows, too. The 2019 tour had eight homes and the 2020 lineup should be announced soon.

When: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. May 2-3 and May 9-10

Where: Tour homes to be announced

Tickets: $30; galvestonhistory.org

Plants I Ogle on My Way to Work by Scott Beuerlein

Like a yo-yo on a string, there I am, driving to work and back somewhere upwards of 300 times a year. While most any daily commute gets old, I am fortunate that mine takes me through mature communities with rich landscapes. Basically, for a plant geek like me, it’s 60 minutes a day of borderline creepy pleasure as I enjoy lingering, lecherous stares at the fabulous beauties that have come to be regular elements in my life. The trees and shrubs along my way? I track them through the seasons, root for favorites, admire the majestic, and lament the dearly departed. The annuals and perennials, they catch my eye and exercise my neck.

Under the guillotine of a deadline preceded by a bout of writer’s block, it miraculously occurred to me that the most important thing in the world right now is for me to regale you with completely random thoughts about the most notable specimens on my route.

For instance, this sycamore in Mt. Lookout is a real stunner. A favorite in winter, especially on sunny days. Some people call sycamores “dirty” trees. I call anyone who says that a “vile” person. (Note that the word “vile” uses the exact same letters as “evil.”)

After Mt. Lookout, I find myself in Hyde Park, where new loans on surprisingly modest homes temporarily weaken the dollar on international markets. Lots to look at here–well-tended front gardens, towering canopy trees, and a seemingly endless supply of ridiculously good-looking joggers. It’s also home to Ault Park, which has a great plant collection and really good gardens. Worthy of a slight detour on the way home, when I have the time.

Hyde Park is also home to the Cincinnati Country Club, tantalizing with its bald cypress, massive oaks, and other old trees seen in quick glimpses through a fence clad in winter creeper. I once tried to plan a horticultural tour for a group of like-minded tree geeks, but was rebuffed. I have found that rich people are never the problem. They are always generous in sharing their gardens with others, even plebes like me, once they know your motivations are legit. But ex-lawn jockey Facilities Managers who work for country clubs are generally suspicious of strangers, ignorant of everything, and instantly mystified as to why anyone would appreciate a glorious collection of old trees. Consequently, they are not so accommodating.

At the traffic light where Observatory becomes Dana, a light I have never once made in well over 5,000 attempts, I turn left and drive through East Walnut Hills–an old money neighborhoods of expensive condos and drafty, giant mansions that are occupied by one-percenters who sit on verandas sipping fancy drinks while listening to the constant three-digit decibel symphony of mowers and blowers that are perpetually preening their neighborhood to noisy perfection. These fortunate sons also benefit from old, rich soil that knows how to grow amazing cherries, oaks, and incredible beech. For me, tooling along in my working class car from my working class house to my working class job, it’s a mile or two of sheer blissful tree geeking. Hell, I don’t care who makes what. I get by. I just want health care, a couple of drinks at the end of each day, and no chainsaw wielding, door-to-door rednecks who might talk vulnerable, semi-demented, old, rich people into topping or removing that awesome oak!

Beeches. While any single one of them is inevitably a study in artistic perfection, it is this one that routinely leads me to crime. I’m compelled to trespass frequently on a private lane where I am not welcome to get good, new shots. Sure, it’s majestic all year round, but it makes me weep the most in Spring when its carpet of squill comes into mind-blowing bloom.

Something else that makes me cry is this allee of ash, which the city thankfully treats for EAB. It is a daily reminder of how many native trees we’ve lost (and continue to lose) to invasive insects and other environmental stresses.

The ride in is capped by a crazed scidattling through the gauntlet that is the “hospital district.” No idea why all of Cincy’s major hospitals are clustered together in one honking, constipated grid of trauma and disease, but they are. And dodging screaming ambulances is a regular occurence. Nevertheless, when I can, I steal furtive glances at this mass planting of Hydrangea paniculata. Probably ‘Limelight.’

On the return trip, I take a different route along the backside of the hospitals to mix things up. I do enjoy this southern magnolia that threatens to eat this house. The next photo depicts a southern magnolia that did, in fact, eat a house. In Hyde Park. Back in 2012. I’ve heard that people died.

This exuberant and colorful flower garden in the median between two parkways was planted and is maintained by volunteers. For some reason, this is about where I always need to use my wipers to wash away pollinators from my windshield. Just kidding. Across the street is a venerable, gnarly Catalpa. Beat up and busted over too many years, it is surely just too damned ornery to expire. But it’s sitting on a prime piece of real estate and I’m trying–without much success–not to get too attached to it.

As I drive past Xavier University, (hand over my heart) my beloved alma mater, I marvel at how the school has succeeded since I graduated. Amazing. Along one side of the street, the city has planted dozens of swamp white oaks, a favorite. And on the other side, they used a bunch of ‘Brandywine’ red maples, which was an excellent choice if you damn the torpedoes and the wires. In the razor thin median between speeding commuters, Xavier planted ‘China Snow’ tree lilacs, which was an admirable if courageous decision. Most notable, however, is that my favorite watering hole, Listerman’s, is right there, and I often stop in for a brew or two and to bother anybody who will listen about trees. Or politics. Or about The Heart of Darkness, our terrifying cat. Just depends on my mood, the number of beers I’ve had, their ABV, and how recently the cat has made us flee our home in the dead of night.

Finally, I’m again stuck at the light I never make and then it’s back through Hyde Park and Mt. Lookout to home. But there is one week per year that I take the long way home. This tree adds a good twenty minutes to my commute, but it’s worth every microsecond during its short, annual, and spectacular, 15 minutes of fame.

So yes, I’m an unabashed plant nut, and I’m required to appreciate plants at a higher level than most people. I imagine that you are probably right there with me. But I’m going to say this. I’m willing to bet that many of my fellow motorists, most of whom couldn’t ID two or three of the plants along their route, love many of these plants just as much.

And I’m thinking what a service it is when homeowners and businesses do their part to make their streets and neighborhoods shady, colorful, and attractive with plants. Seriously, is there much you can do that is more giving to your neighbors and visitors than that? Likewise, I’m thinking what a duty it is for cities to invest in street tree programs, parks, gardens, and plantings. Consider all they do to make a community more welcoming, healthy, friendly, and safe.

And who even knows, maybe we as a nation can do more to make our interstates a little more horticulturally appealing. Okay, they were built to shuffle cold war missiles from silo to silo and to haul Ramblers to dealerships and Kodachrome to Photobugs more efficiently, but what brilliant overachiever imagined that a fescue median was the best we could hope for? All of us spend so much of our lives on these arteries. Maybe a planting or two would create the foundation for new, exciting motorist-plant hookups. Maybe, just maybe, every orange barrel could be planted to overflowing with bountiful thrillers, spillers, and fillers. Oh dear Lord, wouldn’t that be a better world!

Relocating To Naples Florida

The area was inhabited by the Caloosa Indians. Roger Gordon and Joe Wiggins are recognized as the first settlers in the region. They arrived during the late 1860's. The Naples area was bought by a group of prosperous citizens from Kentucky led by Walter N. Haldeman in the late 1880's. The town soon became a very popular winter resort. The name of the city is due to promoters of the area claiming the bay was superior to the bay in Naples, Italy.

In 1911, Barron G. Collier arrived at Useppa Island and purchased more than a million acres of swampland which included the vast majority of Naples. He believed the area could enjoy the type of boom that had occurred on the east coast of Florida. To achieve his goal, roads and a railroad needed to be constructed in the area. With the help of a large contribution by Collier, the Tamiami Trail was built and was opened in 1926. The highway connected Tampa and Miami.

Almost 80% of that is set aside as preserve lands, including Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, two national wildlife refuges, one national research reserve, three state parks, one state forest and many County, City and private parks and nature preserves, including Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.

Because of its vast areas of undeveloped preserve lands, Collier County is the primary habitat for the severely endangered Florida panther(Florida's state animal), which roams through the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, the Loxahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Collier-Seminole State Park.

According to forecasts from Moody’s Analytics, Naples is the top city in the country for projected job growth—4.6% through 2017. While many of those jobs are service jobs, there’s an increasing number of jobs in better paying fields as well. Home to 25,519 year-round residents (and probably an equal number of snowbirds who arrive in winter), Naples is a beautiful city located on Florida’s Gulf Coast. But it’s more than just sunshine and miles of sandy beaches, Naples is a popular place to move for a variety of other reasons as well. Think it might be right for you.

The beaches here have been a staple in many travel magazine and have been a favorite shooting locations for TV magazine shows that feature beaches and it's not just the press that loves these spots, people come and visit here by the droves, bringing their families and, in some cases, pets with them to run along that soft white sand, gathering pretty shells and enjoying that sunset so beautiful no words can properly capture it. You have to see the sunset for yourself, you got to trust us on this.

Dining - Naples has some of the best dining in the U.S. Some favorite Naples restaurants are Osteria Tulia, The Grill at the Ritz Carlton, Truluck's and The Turtle Club right on Vanderbilt Beach (park your toes in the sand while you dine!), just to name a few.

To live in Naples, specially North Naples where all families are moving , is safe and a very great opportunity to enjoy a healthy environment, meet international cultures , find tons of kids entertainments and endless sun & beaches Very good health system is available.

That was the report's conclusion, saying it was ironic that Florida's economy and government services were hostile to seniors and young families—because the influx of famlies and seniors helps to lift the economy by creating demand for all kinds of businesses and jobs.

Housing … $350,000 will buy you a spacious three-bedroom, two-bath, pool home with a lake or golf course view in Naples, but it will barely afford you a one-room, closet-sized apartment in Manhattan, a cozy two-bedroom condo in Chicago , plus you'd have to shell out an additional $30,000 for a parking spot, or a 1960s, two-bedroom ranch with about 1,000 square feet of living in Napa, California.

Many Florida Moving Companies are seeing a boom in folks moving to Naples Florida and the surrounding areas .
