Tivoli Theater AuditoriumTivoli Theater Marquee
     Located at 5021 Highland Avenue in Downers Grove, the Tivoli movie theater was built in 1928.  The designers were Van Gurten and Van Gurten. 
     The theater opened on Christmas 1928.  It had 1012 seats.  It was the second theater in the US to feature sound movies.
     The Tivoli has undergone a rennovation in the French Renaissance Style.  Unlike many other theaters, the Tivoli has only one screen.
     The building not only contains the theater but also a bowling alley, a residential hotel and

other store fronts.

The theater features first and second run movies. Occasionally, it has live performances. The Tivoli is currently owned by Classic Cinemas.

The Cape Coral Yacht Club is located in SE Cape Coral at 5819 Driftwood Parkway. This was the first area to be developed.

Originally opened in 1962. It is a public community park on the Caloosahatchee River

It features a beach on the river. Originally, there was a beach pavilion. This was demolished in November, 2019. There is a 600 foot pier opened 24 hours. Fishing is allowed. There are picnic areas. There is a junior Olympic sized pool. There is a public boat launch. There are tennis courts.

There is a Yacht Club Ballroom. This is rented out for private events.

Built in 1977, the Tony Rotino Center serves the Yacht Club Community.

A fairly recent addition is the Boathouse Bar and Grill.

It was recently (9/2020) announced that the Cape Coral Yacht Club is to undergo a 14 million dollar upgrade. The money for the project was obtained from Go Bond Fund.

To be included in the project are: making the beach larger; possibly moving the boat launches; adding a parking structure; adding finger piers to increase boat capacity.

This is an 8 acre park at 4215 S SE 20th Place, Cape Coral on the Caloosahatchee River. It features fitness stations, gazebos, picnic areas, playground equipment, and walking paths.

At 3026 E. Riverside Drive in Fort Myers there is a historical building. This was a train station of the defunct Seaboard Air Line Railroad. It served as a station between 1927 and 1952. Unfortunately, the building is in the process of been demolished.

I visited this site a few years ago. At that time, the building was deteriorating and fenced off.

Years after the train depot was abandoned, the Reilly Brothers Hardware Store occupied the building. They were in this location until 2007. They closed because of declining revenues and dropping business.

Unfortunately, this is another example of an historic building being demolished. The building sat vacant for years. There were no attempts to renovate this structure. Current owner mentions that this site could be a self storage facility.
