From the working class side of town, we drove to the more upscale area which runs along the lakeshore called Shell Beach Drive District. These impressive mansions vary widely in style but exude elegance. Many have the distinction of being continuously lived in, often by the same families for decades. The homes are historical styles and even new structures are sometimes made to look old to fit in the neighborhood character.
