I'm glad to hear that New Smyrna Beach is coming back, but it breaks my heart to think of the beach being gone. I just can't imagine. When I stayed with my grandmother, we went to the beach almost everyday. She rented a little cottage, called The Brown Fox, just across the road from the beach. And everyday we'd get up, put a picnic lunch together, and head across the road to the beach. It was a really nice time in my life and some great memories. I also remember the cars on the beach... I can't tell you exactly where this was, since I was a kid, but it was such a beautiful spot. But I'm glad to hear that it's coming back...:-)

And my heart breaks, as well, for the people of NO. Such a lovely and historic city and they're in for some rough times for years to come, if much survives at all.;(
