Just a few links about happenings on the Outer Banks:
Nags Head Water Tower deconstruction time lapse video. Pretty cool to watch but some explosions and fire would have made it even better.
Monticello our resident BoSox fan gives an update on the Sandbag Removal Deadline which will affect many in South Nags Head. (All sandbags must be removed from oceanfront properties in North Carolina before May 1, 2008). Question for Monty - did that traitor use steroids or HGH before he went to the dark side?
Pete Hummers from the Outer Banks Sentinel published a story about our most famous Outer Banks resident. Andy Griffith donated a sword he used many years ago while playing Sir Walter Raleigh to the Lost Colony Recovery Effort. The Lost Colony lost 80% of their costumes in a fire September 11, 2007.
Bob Muller published a response to the Coastland Times about the tax burdens of Dare County and other resort communities. Political Science class credit - 2 hours. Bob is supposed to be retired - but quite a few want him back in political office. He would be a true asset to our government.
Jason Summerton from Twiddy Real Estate covers the 4WD area of the Outer Banks. He has published two articles of importance to many - first an update on the Mid Currituck Bridge - there will be three public meetings to discuss the bridge on February 26th at the Hampton Inn in Corolla, Feburary 27th at Griggs Elementary School in Poplar Branch and February 28th at the Southern Shores Town Hall. All meetings will be from 4 - 8 pm. This is an important issue for many of us on the northern end of the Outer Banks. He also posted about the Wild Horse herd - we have 89 healthy horses roaming the beaches.
Very nice of you to bring us the photo series of the water tower bieing dismantled! So much happens around the Banks, we can not ever see much of it. Thanks for you committment to sharing many things with us.
