Ft Myers and the surrounding area.. by craigibt

Ft Myers, where I live – actually Alva, and the surrounding area is the best place live. The weather is beautiful all year round. This winter 2008 has averaged 80+ degrees, how nice. The summers are much better than you might think. It rarely ever gets over 93 degrees. Every afternoon a shower comes and cools things off. It is cooler down in SW FL than in most places in the South. For instance, in Northern FL and GA, MS, AL it is not uncommon to see temps in the low 100s. I love this area, and highly recommend it.

I live in Fort Myers by Mommyhadadiva

This is a great place to go for beaches and the hot Florida experience. There are a few clubs down town for a nice night life. The weather is hot and beautiful. I am sure very many people would love to come here… just don’t move here, the summers can get a little miserable lol.

Lived here as a kid by Mirozi

I lived her for about a year when I was a kid. I like it here very much, and from what I hear it has grown immensly. I wouldn’t even recognize it if I saw it again.

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Fort Myers by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 You know how there are two schools of martini drinkers -- one whose students consider themselves shaken-not-stirred purists and the other whose students believe in candy-colored cocktails -- the brighter and sweeter, the better? The purists usually shudder at the candy-cocktailers and vice versa. Now replace those opposing martini camps with fans of technological progress and those who thought things were just fine the way they were, and you're on your way to understanding the dual mindset of historic Fort Meyers. You see, inventor Thomas Alva Edison came here in 1885 to regain his health after years of incessant toil and the death of his first wife. But unlike most new arrivals, he didn't just merge quietly into the population. Rather, his presence turned the city into one big light bulb: The cows didn't know what hit 'em. Some regret the light bulb ever making its way into Fort Myers. Others couldn't care less. (read article)
