JANUARY
2012
Welcome to Englewood
and the surrounding area of Southwest Florida. The site has grown over
the years and become quite large. In addition, the area is always in a
state of change and we pride ourselves on keeping the site as current
as possible. The date you see at the top of the page tells you when the
last changes were made.
Keep coming
back to this site because we are constantly updating it with new features,
places and photographs of events that have taken place.
 The
first "Cruizin on Dearborn Street" of 2012 turned out to be
the best display of cars and the largest turnout of people. Not only were
there some old classics but also a number of exotics that will, no doubt,
become classics in the future.
Featured on the right is 1936 Railton Tourer, which were highly regarded
in racing circles. The engine is a Hudson 8 and the aluminum body is by
Carbodies of England.
Look through the photo's of the event and see if you can see some of your
favorites. CLICK

 The
Lemon Bay Garden Club hosted it's Fall Garden Tour of a number of homes
in the Englewood area.
The care
and maintenance that goes into producing the quality of the
gardens was outstanding and a testiment to the owners for their efforts.
To see a
few of the gardens in more detail, look at the Englewood blog navigation
bar or just click
here.
The
Winter Arts Festival, sponsored by the Olde Englewood Village Association
was held on Dec. 4th and 5th. Once again the weather cooperated, partly
cloudy skies and temperatures around the 80 degree mark made for a good
couple of days for all concerned.
The quality of the art is always first class, whether it is in the form
of painting, sculpture, woodwork or jewelry.

We have also
added a page on Shorebirds and Sea Turtles. Navigating
to that page can be done by using the navigation button on the left hand
side of the page or PRESS
HERE.
 Page
One of
the Guide gives you information about ,relocating,
the
Englewood Community Hospital, the Chamber
of Commerce , the Libraries
, the Arts and the Clubs.
Page
Two of
the Guide provides information on the beaches,
the turtles and their
nests, how to get here and
links to the nearest airports.
One of the concerns
we hear from visitors to the site is "How badly were the beaches
affected by the oil spill in the Gulf"? "Has it ruined the beaches?".
All are valid questions, but the truth of the matter is that NO
OIL EVER REACHED OUR BEACHES. The shorebirds nesting season
is over along the beaches, sea turtles have layed their eggs and the hatchlings
have been gone for a while, and fishing in the area has not been affected.
 The
Englewood
Blog updates visitors every couple of months with new restaurants
opening, businesses changing hands and other items of interest affecting
the community. The EVENTS
button, on the left, takes you to a list of upcoming events.
Whether you are planning
a vacation, looking for a retirement destination, exploring a relocation
to an area that is safe for your children and has opportunities for growth,
or a "second home" where you can escape the winter weather and
enjoy time on the beach, then Englewood could be the perfect place for
you. Check out the Hotel/Motel
accommodations or
Real
Estate for Rent or consider purchasing
a home.
Navigation buttons
on the left hand side of the page will take you to the appropriate pages,
as does the buttons in the bar across the top of the page.
Use the Travel
section to find out what to see and do within a 1 hour driving distance,
which is not only a help to visitors to this area but also reminds the
full time residents of places to visit locally. Included in this section
is a link to the movies
currently being shown in Venice and Port Charlotte.
Search through this
site and see what Englewood has to offer. It may just be one of the wisest
choices you will make.
