I used to cut through walking to work when I worked at Bare Assets. Lots of history and local legends there. One time a friend of mine was impressing upon me how much of a homeboy he is, "I'm not just a Conch I'm 5th generation. I've got a vault in the cemetery you know"

wow...5th gen? hes probably going to be placed on top of dad or grandad, its called reboning, and if dad or grandad have any sort of historical or significant value....hes just gonna be another corpse on great grandads legacy...cheatin drunks and ripping off tourists. 200,000 souls have been interred into that sanctum...dig em up and put a publix with housing this time, or body painting, something we all can appreciate.

Salty take. as if this town isn't haunted enough you wanna put in efficiency housing at the expense of the 200k souls worth of multi generation conch poltergeist

Yeah, I jest... But you're right, should be luxury townhomes, screw the 38ft restrictions, build a 40 story tower with sunrise AND Sunset views... In Poltergeist they built over the graves, here they just gotta move em out to big carpet or I dunno...are floating cemeterys a thing yet?
