There has been much discussion about this, over two million dollar project, which was planned before the recession. Many tax payers were upset with so much money being spent for roadway beautification, when there have been layoffs of fire and emergency personnel, a shortage of school funds, etc. The jobs are being done by local companies, so there is money going into the local economy, which is a good thing. Hopefully, in the end, it will all work out and everyone will be happy with what they see.
On the way back to the island, I was amazed at how blue the sky looked. It had been raining off and on all day and there were still a lot of clouds floating around.
This evening we went to resident access 7 off of West Gulf Dr. This is the one next to The Blue Dolphin Cottages. The beach wasn't too busy, just a few fishermen, a couple shellers and two people swimming. The high temp. today was 87. There was a slight breeze at the beach, but the noseeums were still very bad. There were several places where shells had been trapped and left. I only picked up a couple of small shells, but I imagine if you were out early before anyone else, you might find some good ones. I could tell people had been digging in them because there were a lot of small piles. I think someone must have had a fun shelling day. :-)
