It will certainly change the landscape of Norman and I don't think the landscaping needs changing. It is such a nice spot as is with just the restaurant and natural island everywhere else.
Also reading what they are adding, I can't help but wonder how things like a floating pool will do in a future storm. Not to mention people living there.

It certainly explains why they booted the Willy T out. Not sure if this is good news..done right it could be..done wrong it will drive away, and price out, charterers and locals.. Sadly...I think this will become the norm for more and more rebuilds to come...

Once the bachos go in, wonder what may be found? Remember it is "Treasure Island"

I just meant the topography of the island. When we first started going to the BVI's, Scrub had a small restaurant, Donovans Reef, (one of my favorites!) and, I believe, 2 houses. Now it looks so different, with the tops of the hills leveled off and cuts in the sides of the hills.

I think Scrub Island all over again. Bullock Mannelly Partners has been around for more than three decades and emphasizes its its work on Bakers Bay in the Bahamas.Anybody tried to get into Brewers Bay lately? Don’t even think of it! Not going to happen unless you are a big buck member. Soon come to Norman and the bight?

Yes. I will believe this one when I see it.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
