BOONDOGGLE... term for a scheme that wastes time and money.
Take a close look at the "town" of Red Hook. From this photo, can you guess where the center of town would be... Where the action is???
Did you guess the set of brightly colored buildings looking all European and interesting???
You would be wrong... Built several years ago, and occupied by two banks... that's it. probably 30 store fronts, plenty of two and three story spaces for offices and storage...
Beautiful tiles, landscaped and in perfect condition...
And why shouldn't it be... No one is allowed on the premises.
I would guess that the developers were hoping to attract the high end storefronts that you can find in Charlotte Amalie. Red Hook does not attract the cruise ship crowd...
Duffy's Love Shack... maybe seating for 25, but a GREAT burger, and a fun cocktail list. Perfect service every time (the staff hustles to get your food and drink), reasonable prices and entertainment...
Just a little building thrown up on the edge of a parking lot. Nothing fancy...
But, Duffy's is the center of town!
