“I’m pretty sure my husband would turn that drive way into a toll bridge so that no one would come visit us,” one person joked.
“Very cool. It used to be painted bright pink and was owned by a guy who owned a lot of strip clubs in the county,” another said.
“I know this area well. Good luck insuring that,” someone mentioned.
“After living through the eye of hurricane Ian, I’d love to know who’s insuring this place! They must be self-insured!” one person commented.
“How long has it been standing? How many hurricanes has it seen? What’s the expected lasting power in climate change years?” someone asked.
“Knock off 100 bucks and I’m in,” another joked.
“One big wave and it’s gone,” one person tweeted.
