Has anyone noticed the ad for Westin posted on the billboard by the Great Bay Auditorium? It has the slogan "Imagine a beach to call your very own".

Before Suxsit started the project, many local residents and visitors used Dawn Beach, in particular on Sundays. There would often be over 30 or 40 cars parked in the lot. I do not know the amount of spaces Suxsit claim to be providing for public parking but I think we can safely bet it won't be more than 15 or so, which will most likely be filled by whatever rental company operates there. A resort of 300 odd rooms and 200 condos is going to need parking for at least 300-400 cars.

The slogan highlights the likely desires of Suxsit/Westin to limit the amount of local residents that use the beach in order to offer their guests more exclusivity.

If they used explosives without any authorisation then they should have the book thrown at them.
