Arthur Gilmore, a local developer, quickly realized he had a potential goldmine on his hands. Pristine, undeveloped coastline? What's a developer to do? Why, cram it full of as many houses as humanly possible, that's what! He called his friends at the state legislature, bought a few dinners and found himself with title to a long stretch of coastline and stared building houses...
By the time he got done, traffic had started getting worse and the town was forced to pave the shoreline road...of course that just made Gilmore's properties that much more valuable.
It's great when a plan comes together like that.....
