Alameda's history so much revolves around the resort era and San Franciscans summering here across the bay. It would be nice to honor that history with something that brings it back.
I would like to toss the idea out that it is possible to create a modern tribute to Neptune Beach's history.
A company called LANDRY restaurants built a restaurant complex called the Kemah Boardwalk near Houston Texas. Landry's which owns, Cadillac Bar & Grill, Rainforest Cafe, Aquarium, Saltgrass Steakhouse, Joe's Crab Shack and The Chart House located all these concepts together with some boardwalk styled attractions, shops and even a hotel.
Landry's could do something similar with the area just to the west of the town center in the area near the current McDonald's, County Court House and Post office.

Just an idea I have at the back of my mind. Not that Alameda would ever go for something like this. Alameda has been known to be very cautious when it comes to growth.
