North Wildwood

Yeah.

Last year, I know a lot about the Wildwoods down there in Jersey, the North Wildwood government, whoever's in charge of North Wildwood, fought with the, uh, Army Corps of Engineers 'cause they said they would not put it back anymore.

And they said, "No, we're gonna go," they went and spent the money anyway and put in big walls, and it's eroding from behind the walls even.

I mean, I've seen pictures of 26 years ago and now, and the whole thing's gone, and now you just have this metal wall, so there's no beach there in North Wildwood.

I mean, is it gonna keep eroding until it's completely gone?

gone?Yes, unless we really step in and spend a ton of money, there's gonna be a lot of places that aren't going to be able to do that.

Yeah.
