Good Bye Andrea Hotel
The Andrea hotel was torn down today due to damage from Sandy.
They plan to rebuild for 2014

How true. Our table spot had a mess of boulders in it's place. Amazing the entire building sustain damage beyond repair. Hope we can party there in 2014. |

Years ago when I was the consummate "surf rat" in SoCo we spent countless hours in the middle of the night fishing under the lights at the Andrea.
They use to leave these huge lights on shining on the water which drew bait and fish. Never caught anything over 20# there but had many 50 and 60 fish nights.

I also think they plan to have some parts operating quickly and that the full restoration will take until 2014.
Good people there. For years they kept an oversand beach access spot open when all around everyone else was trying to close the access points.
