Message:: [QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 620524, member: 78"]Hi James,  When I was growing up Nag's Head was just a sleepy little fishing community. There were 8 or 9 houses and several little motels. One gas station and a huge fishing pier jutting out to the ocean. It was a just a little place of heaven. The Nag's Head I visited in the 1990s was very grown up multiple streets with many and I mean many three storey Condos and stores. There was only one road and nothing around the place. It was the finest place to roam and dream for a young kid. There were a few people but mainly empty spaces with small dunes. I used to swim at night and never worried about "Jaws", sleeping on the beach and just loving the emptiness, nothing to do but fish and roam around. The traffic lights, the six streets and sidewalks and numerous stores and gas stations that are there now is as far from what was there. If you were there in the 40s,50s and 60s and compare it now is like comparing a little village to a booming city. I remember the huge crabs that lived next to the dumping area where all the garbage was picked up every two weeks and hauled away by barge.greg[/QUOTE]
