(I rather like the view of the Vero Beach Munical Airport )

Old,run east and west isn't as long.if you compare that it's nearly identical to the ww2 era one.View attachment 8832

Now that you mention it, yes, it's nearly identical to the ww2 era one.

But I still like the view

I have been all over that airport.I know it well.north in those woods looking for meters,west working at fleet,not visible in the topo or arial of ww2.east at and the center.the piper route takes me in the center and the jail route on the west side.where you see that curved dotted line with another following it,a canal that is largely gone and has piping for drainage.is where I'm talking about.the gifford manor route takes me on the north side and the east side was on the hospital route and now on the grenada route.that takes me also near where the tower is shown,if shown.the tower Is now near the terminal.

Your job has certainly led to introducing me to so much of the area in and around Vero Beach. Fascinating information!

I might as well make use if the interest of mine while doing a job I didn't originally want let alone enjoy.it passes time while I read.I took the st Helens church photo while waiting to turn as I had to go south to read the Charles park route.I plan what home I will photo and as long as my pace isn't to off for me I will photo. I could have photographed the theatre and the pocahontas edifice aa I pass them reading waters on the west side of 14th ave ,I took the old bank from thar view.way busy and moSt snap fast.

Ironically, if I didn't buy a home here which is south and outside of city limits I would be in another state or county.

If you could live elsewhere, where would that be?

I'm not sure, I'm so uses to Vero now bit my aggregations of life and where I'm at is something I don't want to go into depth.Vero has its history and I love knowing and the stories of homes and places but it's hard to work and not kill yourself making it.I don't post all the drama of the things I know and see.some of it I have shared.I will post this as here I avoid politics of Vero openly but since Col Young retired is the Grandson of the first mayor I will post his bid for council and also his grandad.the vero theatre is pivotal to the formation of the city of vero beach and county.intereasting I will verify my hunch as she is possibly older then the city and or electric grid and I thought I looked if utilities were a second thought as is the case with the bank.

If you read what he says ,he is also very honorable,and well respected and from what I know of his grandfather, alot like him.His Dads vision he carries.Tony young is also a member of the genealogy society.I know he has rattled off old family names of others and is more into family history of vero aa he knows it better then me.he lives in an old home.I found it in an ww2 arail.I believe

Honor is a strong feature, it seems, that runs in the Young family. Tony sounds like someone I would not only vote for, but also help with his campaign. Honorable public servants are essential....and more and more rare these days.

He has done alot for veterans.

He has done alot for veterans.

That is quite admirable of him to do.

It's amazing - and sad - that so many people are still unaware of how poorly our veterans are treated. For example, many people assume if there is a medical need, all is provided.

Riomar! His legacy is all over Vero.sr and jr.the club house and my avatar are his influence.the riomar clubhouse no longer stands.ironically these Democrats are very wise and yet well given their time possibly racist. I don't know all about each one.in death the flaws of public figures is often shadowed by their legacy.I hold no I'll will towards them but it's just hard to fathom how conservative my county is and know these guys are Democrats

I went to a funeral.I was asked ,so I shined up brass on my class a and partook in the funeral.what you say can't apply to the youth here.If they don't care it's because they aren't paying attention.my county has the highest vet per capita in the nation.read up on Alex McWilliam. I can post the memorial island story to.I have posted photos of that place and taken photos from there.

Anyway I was thanked for my service numerous times and my generation will step up to replace the aging Korean and Nam vets who do these honors. I went to mcds after the funeral in dress uniform and was thanked by an elderly lady.I can assure we may disagree on The electric issue,religion but unite in patriotism.

That orange home you hate is his home of birth. His family home I have posted as well.also a Democrat.I didn't think that home was pre electric but given the family I was talking to.they said it was older then vero and didn't have power.many of those homes,structures with casement windows didn't have ac until years later

I don't 'hate' the orange house.... just don't like the color!

All of the old homes I've bought over the years didn't have central air conditioning. Some had a window unit or two, but I had to install central air to bring the homes into modernity. (Several of those homes had converted gas furnaces....they were originally designed to burn coal!)

When I read 'lumberjack,' my mind went instantly to Monty Python's "Lumberjack" song....... I've always gotten a kick out of that song!
