AveWatch will toss this softball over to The Real Transition Team for development of its full story potential.

For this website, enough chuckles can be had by simply showing how Naples News continues its hard-hitting unbiased coverage of Tom Monaghan's South Florida real estate development. Naples News has yet to report on Monaghan's extensive for-profit businesses, personally-owned land, and bank tied directly to the development of Ave Maria Town and his non-profit Ave Maria University. Yet, an article now saved into their news archive (unlike typical infomercials and advertisements), ran yesterday to "report" that the pickle ball courts of the Del Webb gated community's "South Park" will be open to all.

“It’s fresh and innovative,” said Jill Hoffman, vice president of sales and marketing for the Southwest Florida market of Pulte Homes, of the plan for Del Webb at Ave Maria. “Ave Maria is for all people, and the style of this Del Webb truly reflects that.”

It says much about a project when "non-exclusivity" is called "fresh and innovative". We'll see how much court time visitors from Immokalee get. Sarcasm aside, having a company oversee a "public" park is anything but innovative in Monaghan's "company town" concept; such an arrangement allows for restrictions on visitors since the public does not outright own/run the park.

Ammenities. Tom Monaghan clearly has his finger firmly on the pulse of today's faithful engaged Catholics.
