Not a blog more like another pier banyan tree, a place to come & sit for a little while & wait for something fun to happen. A place for all the greezers, candyasses, Halloween egg throwers, former Publix bagboys & dirt bike riders to kill a little time until Halloween. Just like the good old days, wait around for a couple hours until you could find some geezer to buy you beer...
I think this may be in the mid to late 50s. That looks like an early 50s International Harvester truck in front of the "Yacht Club", along with an early VW drop side pickup.
Boat Haven looks brand new and is visible on the far right with all the sheltered/covered boat slips. No M and M Marina or even Skipper Smiths Marina out on River Point Drive. Outboard Marine Corporation looks brand new, but the land for the Cove Inn hasn't even been invented yet!
The roof over the City Dock still looks in pretty good shape (yeah all those slips used to be covered!). Hey Donald, that platform at the south end of the City Dock is where I saw the Evinrude yacht "Chanticleer" tied up around 1958.
That runway in the distance looks mighty lonely. The “Naples Airdrome” was built in 1942 and served as an Army Air Corps Training base until 1945. The airport property returned to City/County control in 1947.
