Lynn W Gardner on Hot fun in the summertime
So is the increase in population of Hampton Bay from 5K to 50K the result of the needs of the lizard people and there hangers on in South and West Hampton needing household staff for the summer, and local business needing waiters dishwashers? If so I guess it’s good that the staff has a place to live for the summer, in Vail during the ski season the staff for the lizard people have live in cars and old box cars because there is no housing for them.
The Beautiful People spent beaucoup bucks to summer in the Villages. The Beautiful People wannabes descended like clouds of locusts on Hampton Bays. I’ll explain it all Sunday!
