Lived for two years at two separate addresses in downtown Punta Gorda: one, on West Marion & Harvey and West Olympia & McKenzie. Sadly, both Houses are gone now, due to Hurricane Charley in 03; but it was a pleasant experience getting to live there; going to the Piers at Retta and Lashey every day or night ❤

My HOME for well over 30 years now. Originally from Homestead, Florida. If you move here, BE NICE to us Natives. We do not mind people moving here, just be kind and friendly and smile. Keep it like the South! Friendly. Let’s not make it a Northern town.

As a kid, I loved the old Princess Hotel in Punta Gorda. I was sad that it burned down.

That's why it's so crowded my dad bought a house down there in a 1980s about two lanes of traffic now there's nine Lanes of traffic

I really enjoyed this video. I loved hearing the older folks talk about their childhood in living there. I loved everything except hearing about the segregation however I know that was the past and we must hear about it so that we won't repeat it in the future. Anyway not sure but this one's truck Accord with me. Thank you guys so much for sharing.

I read, back in the early 2000s, that Punta Gorda was rated the 2nd lowest crime rate in Florida.

It seems to be a lovely place to live in! But I was told there’s some heavy traffic out there all the time.

Sad how black suffered for so many years and were treated as lower class

& the story I've been told, PG was very progressive for it's time, & segregation wasn't observed as "much" as other parts of the South But, yes, it's horrible how ppl used to think and treat African Americans

A lot of unfortunate focus on race. I guess if you want to keep that going then you do

To present an accurate history it requires a full story. If that makes you uncomfortable then you should ask yourself why
