    great series of videos! I was born in Marco in 1973. My Grandparents moved there in the 60's and ran the beauty shop in The Marriott hotel. I learned to swim at the pool at the Marco island inn.. neat place but hot and mosquito infested. today its packed to the gill and has lost alot of its charm but I remember it back then..

      Your story reminds me of growing up in the keys. Coincidence born the same year

    I remember when you could fish off of any bridge on Marco and not be harassed by the cops. And I remember when I was surveying Horr's island and the Indian settlement was found.

    Seeing what it's become almost makes me literally sick.

    My grandparents had a second house on Marco back in the 60's, 70's and early 80's with their primary residence up in Sal Apopka and an airboat tours and fish camp outside of Everglades City. My childhood was filled with fishing, hunting, snorkeling, running an airboat, everything you think of when you think of Florida before it was ruined by developers and the influx of people from other states. I left Florida in the late 80's and it was a foriegn land compared to what I grew up in. A shame and sad loss of a national treasure fed by greed. It saddens and sickens me to see what they have done to a once marvelous and beatutiful natural wonderland.

      If your grandparents had a Deltona house there in the ‘70’s, I probably did some plastering on it!

    Nice place to visit. Many nice restaurants. But, unless you have very deep pockets it is difficult to have a condo or live there today.

    They ran the real locals off and just about killed almost all the oyster beds.
    So sad.. what Marco has become untouchable

    y'all failed to even mention Leonard Lewellyn, the man who sold marco twice

    With the on going sink holes on Crap Coral, it’ll only be a matter of time that we, in our generation, witness the destruction of man made islands‼️‼️🤣🤣

      Facts I find disgusting how pioneer white setters destroyed the very clam beds that kept the native calusa and other humans alive in this area of Florida for thousands of years in just a couple of decades

    "Dredge & fill" developments created a lot of very nice places to live in Florida. It's a shame they can't create them anymore.

      More a shame that we are losing every archeological and green space left in Florida. There are ancient burial grounds of the Calusa and threatened species people are bull dozing over. We need a balance

    the environmentalists don't realise they could have asked for some dredge and fil habitat round the corner with mangroves
