Are you sure we're talking about the same OI?




db~Try and keep things from getting any further *out of control*
till I can get down there and straighten this whole thing out.




btw...

The only reason we know about OI is:

My father was part of the crew that surveyed the Southport/FF
ferry back in the 60's. He tells the story of laying out the channel
in a Boston Whaler using long 2x2's as stakes.

It was one of the first projects he worked on with the NCDOT.
In 1994, he retired as Chief Engineer for the state.

I talked to a realtor last night and the inside scoop seems to be that
the *entire* "L" shaped parcel of land at Provision has sold....
including Provision. Some of the companies have been given a year or
more to continue operating, but the area will be razed to make way for
a shops below-condos above structure.

I was also apprised that inland lots are now selling for $80,000. The
lot I told you about that sold for $65,000 was never formally listed
and wasn't on the market longer than one business day.

The municipal sewer issues have been tabled again by the new city
government... I can only guess because things are really getting out
of hand.

TJ's steakhouse will become a "Fresh Market" like grocery. There is a
new restaurant opening at South Harbour Village... and get this....it
will emulate Provision Company. There is an Italian Bistro there now,
probably new to you since your last trip.... and a new restaurant on
the island, SeaGrass.... expect $100.00+ per couple at both places.

The makeup of the population is beginning to change as people take
their profits from the skyrocketing land prices and move inland toward
BSL and Supply. Soon, this may not be the place you remember... :-(
