My error.... when I mentioned the parking in front of the destroyed buildings I meant we relaxed in the CO section with the yellow umbrellas. The only locals I saw were running the bar and collecting the chair money. Maybe one couple under the 'brellas were suited...everyone else was au naturel .

...and a totally different thought, We just (a tad before 7pm) walked around the Bay/Beach side of the Flamingo. It looks really nice and the beach looks huge with Topper's and the construction stuff gone. I should also add that I can't figure how the restaurants we walked by can exist....either zero patrons (Juliett's Bistro) or one table (Isola) or three tables occupied (La Patrona) ...Repay closed .
