Destruction at Baker Academy in Punta Gorda was extensive, and included these buildings and some portable classrooms. The district has to move quickly to hire architects and contractors to have any chance of getting some schools reopened by the 2005-2006 school year.  FPL Restoring Power  Peggy Keen walking down Marion Ave.  Methodist Church on Marion Ave  Marion Avenue
