According to the REPUBLICAN, curious onlookers even drove right onto the golf course as they tried to get a look at the burned down Country Club structure… new golf balls were even stolen.. It was quickly decided to rebuild! By October 1970, Draco Development created a new structure.. and from that point a new history..

Where do we go from here?

Are these eyesores just going to stay where they are? Remain as they were..? relics of a time gone, and no changes coming to change then, reestablish them, or raze them?
