Naples, FL 那不勒斯
… more pix n videos on Google Maps
Another American city named after a much older city, of another country.
It’s on the west coast of Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico, 125 miles northwest of Miami. Population 19k.
Fifth Avenue South is their main street: filled with restaurants, shops, art galleries, cafes… The western end is on the Gulf of Mexico. Parking is very limited at the beach.
We stopped here for lunch because of Saigon to Paris, and Le Colonial on 5th Avenue S: I love both, especially Le Colonial .
There is an open house on 5th Ave S, one home away from the beach, asking $24m. A young woman who said she’s the greeter, doing the screening. I wondered, at this price range, shouldn’t it be a private sale instead?
In any case, I thought about Great Neck in New York:
- Naples, 19k pop, 125 miles northwest of Miami.
- Great Neck, 40k pop, 20 miles east of New York City … but couldn’t afford cafes, art galleries, antique shops and decent restaurants like Le Colonial … what’s wrong?!
