Great news for Fort Myers Beach & the surrounding areas: Algenol is relocating their administrative offices & bio labs to Lee County.

This News Press article on the Naples & Fort Myers Beach trolleys caught my eye & I wanted to make sure you are all aware of the Fort Myers Beach trolley as it is a fun & frugal way of traveling about our area. At $31 dollars for a month pass, it's hard to beat! (Per ride the cost is $0.50.)

Interviews with regular passengers show how convenient the trolley truly is to locals and visitors alike: Cornelius murphy, a Bonita Springs local, takes the trolley into Fort Myers Beach to work, while vacationers, Ted and Donna, didn't even have to rent a car for their visit.

One of the recommended attractions near Fort Myers Beach is the Roadhouse Cafe and Piano Bar, which is owned by Sherri Colombo-Neely & her husband Marc. It has been compared to a supper club of the '50's due to the nightly musical fare & relaxed atmosphere.

It was modeled after the original Roadhouse Cafe in Hyannis, Cape Cod and stays true to the original's deliciously eclectic menu.

Beyond typical dining, patrons can dine in "The Cave", a cave-like dining room that seats 6 as well as in the Wine Room which seats 23-25 people for all sorts of events and parties.

According to Sherri, ""The biggest compliment we get is when someone tells us they feel like they've been invited in our home," Sherri said. "People have told us upon stepping into our restaurant, they feel like they're in Chicago or New York City, and they actually make a night here, coming in for dinner, then enjoying some drinks and live jazz music. We just want people to come in, relax, and have a nice night out."

The 2009 Summit Award went to Fowler Construction and Development for their work on the design of Fort Myers Beach Station #32.

The project was a collaboration among the district, the planning team - Gora McHahey Architectural Firm - and Fowler Construction.

The building design serves as both fire protection and Advanced Life Support transport. Beyond that it is also a command and operation center during disasters or storms.

The fire district has been serving Fort Myers Beach for 60 years, since 1949.

It looks like service for boats & yachts on Fort Myers Beach is about to improve in the near future:



"Diversified Yacht Services has purchased 2.5 acres of waterfront on San Carlos Island, near Fort Myers Beach, to expand its yacht and boat repair business."



Also, "The company's services include... 'pretty much the whole gauntlet for any sized boat'. "



(Excerpt from News-Press.com)



It sounds like a great thing for those of you who own in the area now, as well as for those looking at Fort Myers Beach real estate to buy soon.

The town of Fort Myers Beach has put up an amazing website - http://www.fortmyersbeachfl.gov/ that offers so much great information about our little corner of the world here that I just had to share.

They have thoughtfully included information about the local government & the community as well as a section on doing business. Also provided are separate menus specifically for residents & visitors.

Not only is the entire site stuffed full of useful information, but it also houses island history that is sure to be best read while at leisure. Just the Story of Fort Myers Beach alone covers the earliest days, homesteaders and settlers, early subdivisions, the hurricanes and much, much more. Beyond the Story, there is also history on Early Days on Estero Island & Fort Myers Beach Historic Preservation Board.

We were so excited to discover such a comprehensive resource for the Fort Myers Beach area that we just had to share with you all.
