Yes, it is bridged, but I spent most of my summers just offshore of MDI, on Gotts Island, which isn't bridged or electrified or plumbed. <br/> <br/>Here on MDI I love the sea and the rocks. I wouldn't feel right being landlocked! The rocks are amazing here! I love the cool weather and living in a town of 400. <br/> <br/>I don't like the constant summer fog, but we live with it! I don't like our dependance on tourism to sustain the economy here and watching people lose their homesteads and shorefrontage to people who live here for 2 weeks a year..watching traditional industries die to remain quaint! <br/> <br/>Where are you located? What do you love about where you are and what brings you down? <br/> <br/>Lisa <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://SmallIsland.tribe.net">I Live on a Small Island</a> - 4 replies </div> Wed, 07 Jul 2004 12:16:11 GMT http://SmallIsland.tribe.net/thread/935b901b-ad9a-4a50-8fec-b23f639320e6 Lolisa 2004-07-07T12:16:11Z
