Probably a drainage pond or a canal - all over in that area...those cookie-cutter gated communities have waterfront "features"
Yes, but it was NORTH Viet Nam—Hanoi—in 1972.
“Hanoi Jane” Fonda visited Hanoi in July 1972.
December, 1972, we sent the largest B-52 bombing missions of the war against Hanoi & Haiphong, in addition to the ‘regular’ bomb runs throughout that year.
Ah! I see Cyber Liberty isn’t reading carefully before posting again. You’re right...as an American, he should have been far away from Hanoi until the late ‘80’s.
“I suspect it means that most journalists are as ignorant of geography as they are of economics.”
And, history!
Agreed.
I guess all that is required is a drainage pond to be considered waterfront.
But, why? Why would drainage pond waterfront property be so expensive?
Florida is not exactly on the forefront of the leading edge of the real estate comeback...of which there is none at present.
Does that sentence make sense?
Down here, waterfront could mean a house on the river, an ocean-front condo (for that price), or a house with river access, i.e. on an inlet or canal.
Anything on the water, the real water, will be costly, even if it's not that great.
I am from the South, and grew up with a lake front summer cabin. It was a cabin, for sure, but it was on what was at the time the largest man made lake in the country, and the entire property was privately held. So, it was pretty expensive.
When we lived on the NC coast, I was well aware of the cost of “waterfront” property. I’ve lived in Florida, too, and know the state pretty well. But, to think that one could get just any kind of “waterfront” home for that price, at this time in our economy, totally stumps me. Especially in Florida.
