A Warm Naples Evening
Everything in Naples is beautiful and there’s not much more beautiful than Gordon Drive. On any given day, you can find an in-town resident with a car full of visitors driving up and down this famous street, boasting that there are no gates, and oohing and aahing – about just how fabulous the homes are! Gordon Drive is the city’s most infamous and wondrous avenue. The two and a half mile stretch of popularity brings smiles and stories to all who visit.
From the quiet estates at the northern end of the street to the sprawling compound to the south, every address tells a story. On a quiet summer day, I personally saw Jack Nicholson driving down Gordon Drive. During the wine festival in Naples sightings like this are of no surprise.
The woman in this photo was caught dancing around under a sprinkler on a warm summer evening. I know there is a good story behind this photo! I saw two women scooting around town wildly in a golf cart. They were laughing and looked as though they had just come from Tommy Bahama’s on Third Street. Actually, they looked liked Midwesterners – maybe from Detroit. I guess I got wrapped up in the fun they seemed to be having and the nice friendship that seemed to exist. Gordon Drive. It’s not only beautiful, it’s a place to dream, a place to play, a beautiful place for those who live there and a beautiful place for those who visit.
