Huckleberries Online

Peanut Gallery (Beware of sizzle)

People who think Big D is done manuevering are seriously mistaken. He's still got a few tricks up his sleave. You don't become a billionaire without having a backup plan that really is the master plan.

I think his new tower could easily go where the plaza shops are, or right where Hagadone headquarters is sitting today.

Whatever the case, put your money on him asking city council to close part of Front Street. This limits access to the boat launch. (He really hates that the common folk bring their crappy boats near this Resort).

If he builds a tower where his headquarters are, suddenly public access to the boardwalk is diminished or taken away completely as a concession.

The council and Mayor will want to make nice with him after spurning his garden plan.

I hate to sound paranoid, but Big D is being very guarded about his plans, which leads me to believe something stinks in Hagadonia.

DFO: Bingo!
