What would you like to see...

Post by parafins »

on-stjohn.com has been posting old Caneel brochures ect. on their website. As many of you know that website also features "Jeep Cam",and historic tidbits from Capt. John Brandi which are intesting as well. So it got me to thinking...Wouldn't it be cool if they visited a place like "Island Fancy" that are off limits to visitors because they house park employee's. I would love to see them film the grounds and interior of that home and post it for us to view.So with that being said,what would you like to see that you cannot visit? Denis Bay Estate? Trunk Bay's old Hotel? {site of "Island Fancy" pic from Ethel mcCullys book Grandma Raised The Roof.}ImageParafins

The last time I was there, 10 or 11 years ago, it wasn't much the way it had been when Ethel was alive. The years have taken their toll, and it was redecorated in "Early Ranger", a style given to brown plaids and avocado accent pieces.
