Puccini's Pizzeria

The nice thing about America is that someone can leave their home country, change professions and make a go of it. This fella was some big time musician in Lucca, Italy and came to Vilano Beach and has a great ristorante!

Haley's Court, Vilano Beach

This was a sign for a motel, probably in the 1950s or 1960s. The motel is gone but the city has preserved the sign, with help from private donors. It really is a classic example of the style of sign. I'm glad it's there.

Next year I'll make apoint of going down to Vilano during Christmas season. They had a palm trunk decorating contest this year. Most of the decorations were worse for wear. This one still worked.

I drove down to Vilano Beach to see how their makeover is coming. It is mostly transformed and looks great.
