wow! Is this why we're broke ? If you couldn't "find" your way around those massive concrete bridge columns at night with all the light from Harter House and the Hillbilly Bowl parking lots shining down you were either blind or drunk and shouldn't have been operating a boat. And the State claims a budget deficit....now we know why.
