Phil - no offense taken....I'm a big girl! Part of the fun of Ambergris is the small town attitude. We often joke about starting a rumour at north end of the island and seeing how long it will take to get to the other end of the island. Next time you have a question....just ask me.
I think lots of people had to work very hard for all of the services - only Coral Cable seemed eager to come down and give us the services we needed. We still don't have BTL service. Getting electricity took years of effort from several of my neighbours to the south. As a homeowner I appreciate their efforts and am always willing to do my share. I am aware that some people didn't pay...karma will get them as it always does.
The South Beach development will take years and millions of dollars so I am not worried about it happening any time soon. I do think my point about the dump smoke is well made and think someone should introduce the dump onto the South Beach Site Map.....just for fun!!! If I knew how to hack I'd do it myself.
You have to give them credit for thinking big though!!
