Philippe's explanation was clear. The beaches on St. Martin are public, but there are "use" exceptions within the entirety of a beach area. Makes sense to me. I'm going with the resturants on this one in the legal sense, but when it's common knowledge that the beaches are public, how can the tourists be expected to know about the various beach restaurants' ex

Hi Kim. I've been going to Foxwoods and Mohegan sun a lot lately. On one trip, I took the national scenic route #169 down though Connecticut's "The Last Green Valley". You and Pat crossed my mind because I know you're from Connecticut, and I wondered if you were from that area; nice country.

Uh, huh, We'll see how far Tom's heart goes out if his own reasonable posts are viciously edited because the moderator doesn't agree on a local's topic, and then has an old private RM saved and posted looking for support.

This used to be a fairly active board. In fact, it was a top five in a Google search. Now, there's a reason for the abrupt change and it coincides, exactly, with the the addition of the current heavy duty moderating. Barbara1 does indeed delete and lock posts based on what she personally doesn't like or doesn't want to hear. People get turned off, alienated, and stop posting/

I don't think the answer to that could be covered much better than what's already on this thread. The Cottages de Lonvilliers has been getting the same mixed reviews for years. It's a good French Side location, about in between Grand Case and Orient Beach; the two main destination points of the north side of the island.
