What idiot would build at the fishing hole road and not elevate the buildings from the storm surge of a hurricane or even a strong cold front on a high tide.

Jack Tar Resort in West End, Grand Bahama closed it's doors and left a fully furnished hotel and marina because of the hotel union. They left food on the shelves of the grocery store, golf carts, etc. Didn't bother to take anything with them, just their weekly payroll. They warned the union that they could operate under the unions demands. But the union wouldn't budge. So the company split, never to do business again in the Bahamas.
They were good to the people of West Grand Bahama and everyone who wanted a job had one.
West End has never recovered. Now people have to come to Freeport for work. They had it good and the union screwed it up.
