I am curious about China Island. Helen shared a little bit of it's history with me. Wondering what everyone else has heard about it that they can share.

It's sinking. Abandon ship!

No really, she would be the one to answer as she owns it... I know it's been there forever, I know it has the forest lease on the land, and I also know my boat sunk there...

Unfortuinately, they are historic buildings and thus their remodeling would be strictly regulated, and quite costly. But the land is leased, so selling it would never recoup the cost. It's sad that they were just not kept up from the start.

What doesn't kill me does NOT make me stronger. It makes me anxious, bitchy, and vulnerable...but nobody wants to see that embroidered on a pillow...Lisa Kogan...thx LXL...sorry i stole it from you! Ok, maybe I'm not sorry :-P

It's not still called Garstin Island? Next you're gonna tell me the big rock in Baldwin Lake isn't called "The Rock" any more. Is nothing sacred?!
