Children were giggling, discs were scraping the shuffleboard courts, golf carts were humming as they flew by and relaxed laughter was floating in the air around me as I started my descent up Central Avenue.
The Budd-Dallas Showboat was the first thing to catch my eye. The majestic white house stands tall and proud on the corner of Central Avenue and Second Street. It looms over the beginning of Central Avenue as if it was a rustic and crickety soldier standing guard.
Continuing on, birds chirping in the distance and cicadas buzzing close by, I near 222 Central Ave. A bright, eccentric, blue and green neon cottage caught my eye immediately. The “under the sea” theme was well put together with fish on the balcony and scattered around the porch. The colored lights strung up above the patio brought a homey feel to the place, while a towering tree in front of the cottage brought shade and tranquility.
