Actually Eben there are
TWO spots on the block one is on the east side of Tuckerman's Point, the other on the west. The one on the west is illegally fenced off.
In regards to the spot on the east side, seems that the concerned folks who paid a million just for their lots (seen the "seaside bungalows" that are going up yet?) don't want automobiles parked on Tuckerman Avenue. So, although the spot is still open, you can't park anywhere near it. Needless to say, they want Middletown to be just like Greenwich, CT -

- which is to say inaccessible. Personally, I think they should go the **** back to Fairfield County.
Ya know, trying to close a public access fishing spot is tough - trying to prohibit parking is - apparently - easier and just about as effective.
Plan on being at Middletown Town Hall for the meeting on the 7th of June at 7:00 PM - I'm gonna be there. Pitchforks, torches and ropes are optional at your discretion.
See ya there

- I hope.
