Greedy people destroy our history

January 17, 2025

Regarding the demolition of 1 Stockley St. in Rehoboth Beach, sadly the greedy people who come here from wherever destroy our history with their money. I have enjoyed that house for my 90 years as I walked the Boardwalk. Family cottage on Rodney Street still retains its dignity.
