Many, many years ago, Marash Girl's Auntie Zarouhi who lived in West Newton in an apartment above where West Newton's CVS now resides, decided she wanted to buy a stretch of land for her family along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in Eastham, Massachusetts, land which was (unknown to Zarouhi or her family) the future site of the United States Federally owned beach in Eastham. Her parents complained because the land was a vast wasteland, as they saw it, with not a tree in sight. So rather than Eastham, the family settled on a small wooded island off the coast of Maine, building a wooden bridge in order to access the property by automobile, as none of them were seafaring, nor did they own a boat. Not sure who owns that island today, but keeping the bridge in good repair soon became more expensive than the island itself, thus forcing the family to sell their dream.
