Jim...never said Bev and Roy didnt do anything...from a business standpoint they have a rough road to ho is all..thats just my thought ...Dockside only needs a manager from outside the keys who knows the restaurant bizz..thats all..as to live aboards being there first...whats your point ???..ie ..will major players who want to make a buck stop what they are planning because someone was there first ....i think not..what i heard is ya they got together and won ....having given it alot of thought while i was there ....i think they won a battle and not the war...and after winning went back to the same old same old...ya cant fight city hall with pity and o poor me i was here first..maybe just maybe a major clean up of their act and outward appearances together with a class action lawsuit against the city and developers would work to muddy the waters and scare them ...wont make em go away...but will sure slow em down and /or put a major pain in the ass in their way... make em spend more then they planned...which they hate....my thought is ..focus on what you want for Boot Key Harbor ...not what you think will make a few happy...those few will simply suck what they can from your hard work and time ....and then fade back under the tree...
: First... Roy and Bev do far more for the
: "locals" then any other bar. They
: remained open for those in need of shelter
: from the storms. They look out for those
: who are unable to look out for themselves.
:
: 2nd... Dockside "will be
: changing" within the next 8 to 12
: months... and you may just be surprized.
:
: 3rd... the "local live-aboard
: boaters" were there before the condos.
: As time as gone by, slowly the harbor
: changes. For better or worse, depending on
: who you are.
:
: The live-aboards took a stand a few years
: ago and won. They won because they stood
: together and "one vote turned into
: many"
:
: They harbor needs a leader... one who will
: unite the boaters again and work with the
: live-aboards and the city to bring about a
: better harbor for all.
:
: I am Jim Lowry, former Boot Key Harbor
: live-aboard and co-founder of "Take
: Back Boot Key Harbor.
:
: If you were there, I was the one who setup
: Docksides 1st Internet Access and along with
: Taxi Jim and Vince started the "Take
: Back Boot Key Harbor" movement.
:
: Now is time for a new leader to step
: foreward.
