Not only is the real estate market on St. John picking up but so is traffic in Cruz Bay Harbor. On a recent morning we were surprised with two criuse ships anchored off our busy harbor. By all reports the visitors had a great time and some even took the time to shop for condos while on island.

As a follow up to my December 6 blog about “prom night” on St. John, here is a candid shot of me and my friend (and former Islandia office mate) Beth Tamplin Jones. We were taking a break from the crowds and giving the high heels a rest at Paradiso Restaurant.
Thanks for carrying your camera Downing…

 What I would really like to write about today is the retirement of our Inspector, Ralph Powell. Ralph is retiring after 28 years at the DMV. He may have frustrated many St. Johnians, but if you notice, the cars on St. John are closer to be up […]
