When i first read about their sales at the event in 2005 i was blown away by the number of sales and the numbers that they were getting for each lot. I guess it was all hype, and apparently not real at all, having completed the sales of only 40 lots at the event. Their plans are ambitious especially considering that they are on the highway, and the wrong side of it no less! I hope they have the cash flow to come through this downturn so that they will not have to be taken over by a third developer.

I am a part time resident of Naples. Fifth ave and Third Street south restaurants are great and i always go several times when i am in town. The shopping should be better to attract more pedestrians. I just got back from Aix en Provence in the south of France and it reminded me of what Naples could be. There were more shops than i ever could have imagined. Some international brands, some local. All the stores were small, and because the streets were built and designed a hundred years ago(or more) everything was close together. In the middle of the week, a zillion people were out and about shopping and in cafes.
