There's absolutely no one fishing anymore. Some nights it's downright spooky for lack of people. OTOH, the shortage of people might make it easier for some of the Canal's famous ghosts, and spooky things, to show themselves at night again. Any new ones?

bob_G Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 The home directly across the street from me sold for $134,000 in 1999. It just went on the market last week for $650,000. The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll not find the likes of that type of quality workmanship in present day modern homes. Not my style of home, but there are folks out there that do. Also, I see yer neighbor with the screened in front porch and above ground pool in his back yard has his hacienda on the market. What gives? Is something happening in your neighborhood that homeowners want out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very sore subject in our household also. Anything with frontage on the Canal has to be worth $1 million or more. I knew the original owner of this one. He paid something like $11-$12K back in the mid-1960s. The second floor was unfinished. Now Zillow estimates it at $997K.

John Cinelli's daughter, Nancy, swam there all the time. Of course, they owned the beach. As far as accessibility, there was once a sign marking a right of way, but it disappeared at least 40 years ago.
