Rats. I can tell that you're probably one of those honourable people who won't say what he has been asked to keep under his hat!
If you were the kind of man who took bribes, what would you take? Just askin' ..... no reason! :)
New construction is a 2nd Margaritaville according to the vendors at Roots Bamboo, who are being evicted.

So why the mystery? Thanks. Interesting.
So.... if this is more than rumor... I'm curious what others on the board think... is this a good thing? I mean, jobs are good, that goes without saying (but I did). But would a second M'ville really be a welcome thing for the smaller businesses?
One loud overpriced tourist trap on the beach is enough!
Not interested in any place what don't play Reggae in Jamaica... sorry - gway!Quote:

Margaritaville had the WORST Margarita I have ever tasted. When I asked for something to add to it he brought me rum punch to put in it~~CLEARLY he was NOT a BARTENDER~~
JOY :rolleyes:
It is NOT a Margaritaville. The property is Jamaican owed and being developed privately.
Probably a restaurant and vendors.
My daughter's place "Fruits and Roots" was there before the construction and expect to be back after the improvements.

I hope Lindsay and some of the other long-time vendors get to maintain their businesses.
According to people who hang out there, It is a large bar/restaurant (one guy said possibly a strip club). It is constructed using old-school Jamaican construction techniques (this from Slinky) - ie; cedar poles planted deep in the sand, hardwood framing members, thatch roof.
I was also told by some that the existing vendors will be accommodated on the new site.
It looks pretty cool and should be a good addition to the beach.
Thanks Cap'n... that's a bit of a relief!
