Anyone who has lived in Brigantine NJ has this image burned into their frontal lobe. The Brigantine Castle was an amusement pier located at the North end of the island. A big tourist attraction, that provided years of fun by giving 'shoebies' wrong directions. It closed down and was left vacant for awhile. (I heard tales of teenagers breaking in to it for nights of debauchery...). It eventually caught fire a couple of times and burned down. The big pilings remained and I used to surf thru them. Never hit 'em. Dumb and lucky, the best way to cruise thru life.
