I don’t know anonymous, I’ve been sick all week and and was so surprised to see the mess. Perhaps one of our readers knows when this happened.

Wondering if that is where the aluminum stairs for the beach club entrance were located. Perhaps that section of the wall was not supported by stone and rock as other sections. Also wonder if the parking lot “river” is still flowing from the melting mounds of snow and what the condition of the lot will be come summer. Come what may ~ I’m still looking forward to the morning Good Harbor beach walk ~

I didn’t check on the parking lot Mary. Maybe someone has recently. I think the club stairs are further up.
Yes, come what may!

Really you’re to blame for all this. One of your Art Rocks was a keystone to holding the entire structure together.
I’m sure we can all agree Paul is to blame for this.
