I can't imagine environmental regulations would allow such a structure these days. Still, I thought it was the absolute coolest place. Have a great weekend. edAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-40939921289129784222007-10-30T16:41:00.000-05:002007-10-30T16:41:00.000-05:00Alexandria, Louisiana?

You must be referring to the Flagship Hotel, and yes, it is still there, and open for business. North Carolina (and South) is nice; very much like Galveston in places.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-89458568319448037192007-10-30T11:16:00.000-05:002007-10-30T11:16:00.000-05:00Wow, these pics brought back some memories.

I'll never forget jumping off the seawall and busting my butt as an 9 yr. old in 1968. Is the hotel still there that is built on the pier? I'd love to revisit the island one day but it's a pain to get there from NC. Great site. EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
