Who is Fiona and what is the backstory? I missed it…
Betsy Kahn — who lived in the neighborhood — put up a sign several years ago at that spot (where Soundview intersects with Hillspoint). It referred to the “disappearing” nature of the area near the jetty, depending on the tide.
For years, no one knew who was responsible for the sign (which was stolen a few times, and always replaced). Here are links to a few “06880” stories about it: https://06880danwoog.com/?s=fiona
Did I get that right, Betsy?
