Bad324 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 oh my dear god the irony in the timing is impeccable. Over the weekend a couple friends and myself came up with a solid plan to go in on a cottage or lake house up in Marblehead as a sort of investment. This is so getting thrown into the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 just keep in mind, from the article:"The Star-Beacon of Ashtabula reports the Conneaut Port Authority turned down an offer to take over the lighthouse for free because officials said there were too many federal regulations."

flounder Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 And you still have a legal requirement to keep the lighthouse up and running per the regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
