I was young and remembered it as a paradise. I went back to visit around 2002 and found my childhood home replaced by a mansion and surrounded by houses and traffic.My Pop Warner team went down to Cape Coral for a "bowl game" in 1981 and I loved the area. When I moved there in the 2000s, it was much more residentially developed. My best friends lived east of Del Prado, but I was west of Del Prado, so I'd always go boating with them, as they could get into the Caloosahatchee in about 2 minutes. I also had a couple of friends (only 1 was a UM alum) who lived way out west, and they could get out to the river fairly quickly, going south by Rumrunners.
