It's GONE :-(
 

:-( My favorite salt water pier is gone,, Ivan destroyed it last
night,, totally,, 825 feet of 100% concrete fishing pleasure, a place I
have spent thousands of hours on, a place where I would rather fish,
than charter a boat. The pier cost millions, it was 22 feet above the
water, and knowing my state, if they rebuild it , it will take many
years to do it

I ask for a moment of silence at the loss of the ALabama State pier at
Gulf Shores

Good grief...that's sad news indeed. Even though I usually fish from
boats, when I'[m traveling and have a few hours to spare, I always check
out the possibilities of a nice fishing pier.

Not dead, in jail, or a slave? Thank a liberal!
And don't forget to pay your taxes so the rich don't have to!

That's unfortunate.
But with the loss of so many lives and the losses to homes and businesses,
the loss of a pier is a ****hole in the snow.
There is a lot more to be done but grieve for the loss of entertainment.

Support the Red Cross, Salvation Army or other appropriate relief
organization.

I share your grief, Rodney. That pier was the location of my first pier
dance (30 lb. king mack). It will be sorely missed.
