Nothing has changed in that regard. How long ago were you here? Much has probably changed otherwise. It's much built up and we now have Home Depot and K-Mart They rebuilt the old Yacht Haven (aka "Rat Haven") into "Yacht Haven Grande." (Don't forget the "e" at the end of "Grande" because you know... it sounds more expensive that way.) The funny thing is they had the Field of Dreams "if you build it they will come" philosophy. Oh yeah, all these yachts are going to come here because now we have a new dock. Well the economy tanked and the yachts aren't there. Now they have mega-millions worth of space just sitting there. They never finished the big pavillion that was supposed to house some mega-fancy restaurant. They never sold the $3 million condos that are right across the street from the projects. (go figure)

You know, come to think of it- really not much has changed! Corrupt as ever before.
