Nearby you can live like a star in Mizner Park, among Spanish-style stucco restaurants, pretty fountains, upscale galleries and the artistic amphitheater.
The solitary exception was the New Church; a stuccoed edifice with a square steeple over the door, terminating in four short pinnacles like florid wooden legs.
On the porch stood one lonely wooden rocker, and the afternoon breeze made the unpruned shoots of last year's poinsettias tap-tap against the cracked stucco wall.
