And, as we wait for the end of the peninsula and the world, and ponder on the irrelevance of the town’s esthetics, I would also like to extend this altruism and invite some squatters to live on my Bay Creek lot. Please inform me if you have any idea on how I could pursue this lofty goal and also, perhaps, extend an invitation on my behalf. Calling all nomads!

The town has weathered many storms, including most recently Irene and Sandy. I seriously doubt a few little studio apartments are going to “destroy” the town. With a few less conspiracy theorists, I think our current metaphorical storm will also pass.

(no revenue of course)

I wish I could say the deal with the school is just an anomaly, but it is really just part of a continuing trend, from the Vaccaro affair, to the wastewater plant, to sweetheart deals at the harbor, to lifting public safety funds for a new library, to the empty basketball court. And you are correct, something is going on here. Those apartments will destroy this town. Keep digging girl: sufficit unum lumen in tenebris — a single light suffices in the darkness. Eventually, the workings of this cabal will be brought out into the open.

As a 6 month come-here, I appreciate the background information about the mess in Cape Charles. Your personal experience with political corruption and subsequent disappointment in finding that it is rampant even in a small town such as ours touches a nerve in all of us. I fear that morality is all but gone in our culture.
To quote Shakespere, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark,” and one day the truth of the matter will be exposed. Until then, continue on telling the truth, Cape Charles Wave. You are a candle in the darkness!
