The History section needs a new beginning. Probably something like, "Until the fifties the area was agricultural/scrub/whatever. Then George and Richard Rosen, two brothers who had experience in real estate development in Chicago/Philadelphia/Sarasota, bought a tract of zz thousand acres from John and Mary Doe, paying, according to county records, xx cents per acre on July 4, 1776. They easily/with difficulty obtained permits from the County and their architect, Frank Lloyd Saarinen, designed an entire city/residential area." Et cetera.

As of 6/26/2006, the map looks right. I live in Cape Coral also.

--orig--

Is it me or is the Picture upside down? (Cape Coral is on the N & W side of the Caloosahatchee. tww

Photo is upside down, and if I am not mistaken, NS is divided by Pine Island Road. pjr

The picture *IS* upside-down I live there, and I can tell you for a fact the image is 180 degrees off...

<nitpicking continued> As of 3/1/06 the picture now only looks about 10-15 degrees off line if north is assumed to be top center. The article is correct as far as the seperators for the NE/NW/SE/SW go. If you look towards the west end of the city you will find SE addresses north of Pine Island Road. (BTW I live here also.) tww Clix 03:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC) </nitpicking continued>

Interesting fact: A large portion of the Cape Coral population calls this place "Cape Coma."

[edit] Canals

Dont you think there should be some acknowledgement of the canal system? Cape Coral used to be swamp land, there for the need to dig canals to raise the ground level. There is over 400 miles of them also, they are salt and fresh water also. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.240.186.22 (talk) 17:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
