Y'all read the Advocate this week? Mr. DeMars (owner of Prop Stop) is in a little hot water with the DWF and La DEQ. It seems he was illegally dumping garbage on another Killian resident's property. He was supposed to clean it up prior to the hurricanes but didn't. The water came up and his garbage floated all over the lower Tickfaw. DWF and DEQ were not amused. Could face some serious fines and possible jail time. The Haloween Bash might be in trouble this year. Don't know that for sure, just judging by what I read in the paper.

From what I am told they will not be having it. In fact it very well mean that we have seen the end of the prop stop. Things have been spiraling down for awhile. We hate that for halloween too, we have not missed one in 8-9 years.
All the river bars were severly hit from these storms.....looks like we are in for a big change. Croozin, come see us friday nite at lizzies. Hurricane "releif" drunk. We can talk about opening our own place. We got the "experience".
Sun Buns sustained no damage but Damon said he proably will not open till next year. Does not feel that there would be much boat traffic. Tried to talk him into having a halloween party, was receptive on the idea but had prior plans for halloween this year. Good possibility next.
So what ARE the local boaters going to do for Halloween THIS year???

Redline, I haven't met you personally but your story sounds very close to a good friend of mine's. If this first one ever goes bad for me, I don't think I'm gonna dive back into that end of the pool!:party-smiley-004:





Doug, we only want Charlie involved in limited property ownership down here. With the way he gets pissed off, he would ban everyone from the place and then we'd have nowhere to go!!!:drink:

Personally, I like Sun Buns better than Prop Stop. Still, I don't want to see it go under. As I said earlier though, while overhead isn't bad right now because they have been grandfathered in on so many things, if someone else bought it, it would take a substantial sum of money to bring it into compliance in many areas (ADA, sewer, water, safety, insurance). The place needs a LOT of work. The recurring monthly costs would also be through the roof. Remember, no power out there so they have to haul diesel out there for the genny each weekend - a LOT of diesel. Everything has to be brought out and back via boat (liquor, beer, ice, cups, food etc) and all garbage has to be brought back in by boat. Add to that the business is EXTREMELY seasonal and you would only be working weekends when everyone else is enjoying their boats. And with a bar, if you aren't there personally to oversee things, you will get robbed blind. It would seem like a great opportunity on the surface but I would bet the headaches and liability would far outweigh the money.

Just my .02

I was hoping something would be open this weekend may take my boat to false river to take a little ride.

I hope they pull through too, I really enjoy that place.

It seams like that would be gold mind if ran right cant be much overhead….
