Aventura--the paradise out of reach

[jiacinto]

Avenutra, I see you and I can't be there at night

Aventura, I see your shopping mall and walk in it and feel happy

Aventura, from the wrong side of Route 1 and Biscayne Boulevard, I look at your high rise buildings and I yearn to call them home

Aventura, life seems to be beautiful and the area is nice and well maintained

Aventura, why can't I leave there? I belong there, not here in this town where I live now?

Aventura, I drive to the Bella Luna Restaurant and the other places to eat and covet thee

Avenutra, I deserve you and think I should be an Avenutrian

Why is the paradise you are so out of reach for me? Why can't you make it possible for me to be an Aventurian?

Why can't it be possible? At night I see your beautiful high rise buildings along the water and I yearn to be in one with you.

Lord, please let me become an Aventurian at some point before I go crazy.

1. So you want to drive a Hummer and be a conservative Dem??

Paying only lip service to Economic Justice?!

Naw! Say it ain't so!

My "ex" lived there, for a while two years ago, it suited her well.

[jiacinto]

2. Are you a man or a woman?

Anyway I am not like that. Why do you have so much against Aventura? Anyway I think I would like it better than I do North Miami Beach.

[JanMichael]

12. Am I a Man or a Woman?

:wtf:

Is this a "Did you beat off again today to photos of men?" non-sequitor?

I'm not a big condo fan. Yes there are a few areas in Aventura w/o but I'm used to the water places just south of the mall.

Ever go into the Publix near ther? Ever try to strike up any sort of meaningful conversation?

[jiacinto]

16. I wasn't sure

Don't get offended. I didn't know if you were a man or a woman.

[JanMichael]

19. Why would it have mattered?

What would my sex have mattered with my distaste for safety sealed communities?

On second thought, don't worry about it.

I've got a cold beer to finish:toast:

[jiacinto]

20. I was just curious

I didn't want to call the wrong gender as I did to another DUer once.

3. from the looks of it

(http://www.cityofaventura.com/gallery/index.htm) you might have to trade up on the SUV...

edit - why do you "deserve" Aventura, Carlos?

[jiacinto]

4. Well

It is simliar to where I lived before I moved to FL.

[ulysses]

6. ?

It is simliar to where I lived before I moved to FL.

How does that mean that you *deserve* it?

[jiacinto]

7. What is our point here?

[ulysses]

10. you posted the poem lusting after

life in a members-only community - you tell me.

[jiacinto]

11. It's a whole town actuallky

nt

[ulysses]

18. my bad - it's just the rec center

that's members only.

Why anyone would want to live in a condo community is beyond me, but that's your deal. I'm just still not grokking this whole "deserve" thing...

[jiacinto]

24. well

it's like where I was born.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. I Like Weston Better

As a Dolphins fan that's where alot of former and current Dolphin players live....

btw- I went to NMB....

5. He's willing to sell

his soul? :shrug:

[SoCalDem]

8. I thought you were just waxing poetic.. So Aventura is a real place, eh??

Is it that "Disney-esque" , gated , whitebread, Ozzie & Harriet land??

[jiacinto]

9. Just beautiful

It is a town in North Dade County.

[catzies]

14. SocalDem, what Ulysses and JanMichael said about the place is true

Yes, it's lovely to look at but it has no soul.



And, they "chose to take an aggressive approach to meet its changing demographics. Plans are now underway for the construction of the City's first Charter Elementary School."

15. Well

Next year I will be an Aventurian if all works out!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. What Kind Of Work Do You Do

btw- I'm not a big condo fan... When I went to NMB alot of my friends lived in Winston Towers.

[jiacinto]

21. I work for a non-profit org

so I doubt that I will ever be able to afford to live there.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. If You Work For A Not For Profit

I would assume you have a highly developed social conscience that should be in favor on this board...

You should get more props....

[jiacinto]

23. I Do

But I also live in reality too.
