Really is a shame, Caroline.

Very late '60s, a handful of 2LTs could afford to rent a great spread near the beach in Carmel on their pooled housing allowances, plus buy groceries, GTOs, and other necessities like J&B and Coors. Carmel was full of characters, them included.

Not today... by a long shot. Too bad.
