I just moved into the sarasota area and the Punta Gorda country club has just reopened after being wiped out by Charley last year. 2.5 million was the bill. If they can do it in just over a year a tour stop supported by corporate bucks should do it a lot quicker.

Unfortunately the "haves" have their country club back while the "have nots" are still without proper shelter. I hope New Orleans and the US can get their priorities right this time but I doubt it.
