How Different From Miami Can a Place Be?

I just came back from my favorite place on the planet, the Chautauqua Institution, in western New York state. The easiest way to describe it is as a place filled with families seeking intellectual pleasures. There are lectures and discussions, symphonies, ballet, or opera, myriad classes from which to choose, sailing, bicycles but few cars, religious studies and meditation groups, golf, tennis, and swimming. All of this happens during a nine week period each summer, and my family has been going there for the last 21 years!

To get a feel for the place, here are a few pictures taken there:

A Chautauqua Home

The home above has detail known there as Chautauqua Lace. In Miami we would call that “gingerbread”.

I’m writing this to let you know I’m back home, well-rested, feeling smart and cultured, and ready to continue serving your real estate needs!
