Long Beach Pier to be Demolished by Developers
Gene Kearns wrote: It is my understanding that Tommy Thomes has sold the Long Beach Pier property (divided into nine sections) to developers located in Raleigh, NC. Again, my understanding is that the entire property, pier, bar, restaurant, gift shop, motels, campground and trailers, etc. is to be razed to make way for some form of condos. The campground has already been demolished and it appears that the motel on the land side of the road is being stripped of appliances. This calendar year may mark the end of 50 years of dominance as the longest pier in NC. This landmark's passing will be mourned by many people who have grown up on the pier, met and made family there, and/or "landed the limit" during the hot runs of fishing. -- _ ___c \ _| \_ __\_| oooo \_____ ~~~~|______________/ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ }((((o ~~~~~~ }{{{{o ~~~~~~~ Grady-White Gulfstream, out of Southport, NC. http://myworkshop.idleplay.net/ Homepage* http://www.thebayguide.com/rec.boats Rec.boats at Lee Yeaton's Bayguide A sad sign of the times. The "highest and best use" of waterfront property.....(but perhaps not the most appropriate use).....is almost always going to be something other than providing moorage and facilities for boaters. |
