RE: Memoir Monday week 14 How is life different today compared to when you were a child?

I think I've been near there, for sure. My wife came down there when my parents lived in Rockledge and stayed in a little beachside hotel. So did the State seize the land through imminent domain or did they pay a fair market price to the county? Many times in situations like that the owners get nothing or next to nothing. Very sad. Do you ever visit the park?

Sort:  

I believe they paid the county, I remember asking Dad why we had to move and he told me whatever he bid, the state would bid a dollar higher, that is why I think they bought it.

I live directly across the river from it. When my brother was alive and he came down he would camp there, it is nothing like it used to be, where our house was is now a parking lot.
