City of Palms





Hey Chicago! This is where palm trees like to live.

Fort Myers is known as the city of palms and many of its streets are lined with palm trees. Although they grow in other places....... all over the world(not counting Chicago), somehow they seem so representative of Florida. Everyday, you can see new ones being planted and old ones being carted away. The trees shed their branches whenever and wherever they please, and the streets are littered with fronds, but people stack them on the curb and a truck comes around and collects the discarded limbs. All quite orderly really.
