Marco Island Florida.
20 square miles of mangrove swamp. Dredged and filled by the Mackle Brothers, Deltona Corporation
85% of the homes are waterfront (canals) and the six miles of wide beautiful beach is man made.

Welcome to paradise. Bring your check book.

I’ve never really been to the east side of Michigan much. Always straight up US127 or along the west side of the state.

I haven't been to the one pictured, but I have been to two or three of those. There is a point in all of them where they make it appear water is flowing up hill and a ball rolls up hill.

I've visited Dubai at least 30 times and have been to The World several times. It's wild to look at when flying.

I'm been in the basement of the Federal Reserve Bank here in Charlotte and have see pallets of coins and cash. I worked for JCI at the time and they did the controls in the building. This was the new building that was built back in the '80's. Unfortunately they didn't give samples out.

I've been in the Houston Federal Reserve Bank. Interesting place. The oddest thing I saw was a regular every day 18 wheeler making a delivery. The phrase "Hidden in plain site" came to mind.

Most of Floriduh is man-made, which is why it's so boring.
