Massive fire in Hampton:

This block held the gift shop that was my favorite since I was a kid, you know, the one on the corner with the room in the back that housed the hermit crabs?
Brian and I spent a night at the Surf Hotel once. We had a beach-facing room with a little balcony, and planned to stay there again. It was the one time that I've stayed on the beach as an adult.
They never rebuilt after the fire that took the Old Salt Restaurant and that block was not nearly as large (the Old Salt sign still remains on the lightpost on that corner, an empty lot that's used for parking). I wonder what will happen to this more prominent stretch of the boardwalk. Things are declining as time goes on and each year the beach gets more and more depressing. I still love to go, but each year I get a bit more worried about the future of the area. I don't want it to end up 99% condo like Salisbury beach did.
So sad. Sad to the degree of the Old Man falling off the mountain sad.
