In May of last year I moved from Seattle to Florida. For about the first 2 months I lived in temporary housing in a condo in a little town called Celebration. Since then we have rented a home here. We really love it here and hopefully after this year we will buy something. Yesterday my youngest daughter and I spent some time running around town.
A shot of our street. We love the trees on the street. And yes it is December.
The fireworks over the lake (which is to my right) were absolutely beautiful. This is also the home of Fred the Alligator. They decorate the whole town for Christmas. They also have "snope" shows every night until New Year's Eve. I say "snope" because it is fake snow that is some kind of soap.
The thing that amazes me is the attention to detail. Even the street signs are done.
I miss my peeps in Seattle, although I sure don't miss the snow that got dumped on them. Hopefully everyone is enjoying their town.

Is that "The" Celebration Town? The Planned town? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebration,_Florida
Interesting to know a developer who works there. I always figured a bunch of devs would make the perfect candidates for towns like that.

That is the one. Great place for the family. Not close to anything though :).

I often study a bit of "urban planning" (goes w/ my other obsession http://www.transitsleuth.com besides my .NET OCD & heavy metal) and have mixed ideals about it. Your town is rather mythic in nature! :)
I've always wanted to visit. I ever get to swing through there I'll be sure to say hello.
