That road gets wet during a strong blow

[image] Hurricane Isaias max 40 knots, and we already had that in a couple of T-storms last week Yeah, 40 knots is a mild nor’easter not worth mentioning in these parts.

When my bride worked at Regional, she dreaded nor’easters because some of her patients and fellow employees couldn’t get past that road. I heard they raised it a bit lately, haven’t been back there since the “Improvement”. Some of the employees liked the unscheduled “vacation”.

The one on the beach road is on the island now with his gal because he can’t get through the “Road” . She is on stilts on a canal, he is not… The other guy is on stilts, n…

You’ve probably seen this, CH 1968. Building lots were a thousand bucks. [CH1968]

Looks like a picture from the sales brochure. Moms office was a bit to the right, (not in this picture) near or close to the entrance. I was 12 or 13 when this picture was taken.
