When I bought my place there was a great woman that lived across the street on the bluff. One day I was talking to her and she told me that her and her husband purchased their two bluff top parcels in the 1940s for $1,200. She said that at the time her and her husband became angry when they found out the neighbor paid $100 less per lot. When she passed away in about 2000 or 2001 her two lots with 100 feet of ocean front (and a tear down house) sold for $1.8 mill. As you can imagine her adult children were quite happy.

So were you around when Carlsbad had the Chicken Shack (with the huge chicken in front)?
