.DonMartinCTV: Fort Myers Beach rises again as the Canadian snowbird migration arrives
It started just 10 days ago when residents placed a few poinsettias at the foot of the washed-away pier where Hurricane Ian had destroyed the holiday-season palm.
Huge swaths of beachfront development now just look like, well, a wider beach. There’s little evidence that enterprises thriving there before the hurricane ever existed. Even the foundations are gone. And for the half-million-plus Canadians who own property in the state, that seems to confirm their choice for a winter getaway residence.
Sunning herself on the beach, which is open for walking but discouraged for swimming, long-time resident Cammie Lynch still finds it hard to look behind her at the cranes and bulldozers ripping apart the restaurants she used to patronize.
