Cane across this postcard of Key Allegro ca. 1980s. Someone drew an arrow where our first house was.

Check out all the empty lots!!

If you follow Key Allegro real estate on Instagram, they periodically post great throwback photos. A neighbor of ours has this photo where I can see my house (built in '73). Not sure of the age of the photo but it looks similar in age to yours. White was definitely the paint color of choice back then!

I think that I can see my in-laws old house that was on 14 Bahama. The concrete slab has a nice little pool that is heavily shared by an oak tree. At least it did when they sold it about four years ago. I miss that place.

Yep, I am confident that is it in the middle. On the corner. If I ever win the lottery, it will be mine.

This one is before 1973 as our street and canal don't exist yet.

Oh wow! Nassau was building but I can't tell if our first house was up or not. Can you imagine being like. "This seems like a good idea to build houses here."

Notice how the Bayshore Drive house have beaches, not bullheads. That must not have lasted long as those bay front houses get hammered in the winter when the wind is our of the north!

No kidding. I'm sure after the first 2 or 3 floods they realized something had to be done.
