This week’s countdown is only of interest to those of you who are my fellow citizens of Homestead Florida. For the rest of you I’ll have something special for you later.
Here are my TOP 5 favourite east-west streets that I drive on a regular basis:
5. SW 344TH St. / SE 24TH St. / Palm Drive
If Homestead had a perimeter road or a loop or a beltway then this would be the southern segment of it. Every Johnson that I know lives within several yards of it. 😀
4. SW 304TH St. / NE 15TH St. / Kings Highway
It’s the ‘less-stressway’ alternative to the Campbell Drive concrete jungle, and it’s how I get to the church office from the movie theatre.
3. SW 312TH St. / NE 8TH St. / Campbell Drive
It’s the new Kendall Drive. It’s our ‘Strip’. It’s the modern commercial downtown district of the city. If you’re in a hurry then avoid it.
2. SW 288TH St. / NE 31ST St. / Biscayne Drive
I bet that you didn’t know that Biscayne Drive marked a small portion of the northern city limits of Homestead and is our NE 31ST St. just north of the Waterstone Plaza. This is how I get to work every weekday morning.
1. SW 328TH St. / SE 8TH St. / North Canal Drive / Lucy Street
It’s the road that I’ve travelled on more than any other road here in the city. It’s been my personal ‘Main Street’ for the past 13½-years. At its widest point Homestead is six miles across, and this is the only street that you can drive at that wide point.
