You know Captain, I once spent almost a week there as a guest of a friend while Lennox Lewis was training for a title fight and running up and down the mostly deserted beach.
I mostly manage and run a small, eclectic motel here in South Florida and know the cards are mostly stacked against a small, non-chain business before you even get started. It is tough enough for a motel or hotel to make it along the 7-mile beach with tourists aplenty without trying to do it out in the middle of the boondocks. Secluded and Rustic and code words for "in the middle of nowhere" and "in need of repair". During the best of times it still was struggling and now with the ailing economy, it has died on the vine.
I would sure like to see a picture or two of just how it looks now. I loved the place because of the people who worked there.
Thanks.... Peace and Guidance
