Locally Owned Shops



I need to show some of the old one-story, locally owned shops on Fifth Avenue South before someone buys them and knocks them down.  Personally, I like their character.


Most have been replaced by much bigger places like these.  Many old-timers in Naples call this the Miamification of Fifth Avenue South.  Indeed, many of the new buildings are handsome.  I just liked it better when there was more of a mix of new and old, big and small.

  1. Old Florida architecture is unique, and disappearing. Good you can document the old one story shops. Interesting there is a yacht store. I would avoid buying a yacht as our climate change makes for increasing hazards.
