People interested in Keeping hurricanes at bay

I moved from my home of origin, Philadelphia, Pa., to Jacksonville's Beaches with the intention of staying for a year or two — just to check out the Florida scene. That was in 1982. Now I'm fully ensconced; I love our little northeast corner of Florida, and especially our slice of coastline. How much longer can it remain at least somewhat of a secret? My favorite aspect of journalism has always been chronicling the proverbial human condition. What makes people do what they do? Why do they succeed? Why do they fail? Why do they get in trouble? Why do they defy nature? What a great place the Beaches is to peruse and theorize about the human condition. What a fine microcosm we are, what a great place for a bike ride, what a great place to live. I hope this revamped Web site gives Shorelines the opportunity to become a more thorough and interesting community forum for all of us along the coast. Constructive communication is quite the elixir, isn't it?
