2002-2012 Tenth Anniversary Celebration Cover Page
Welcome to our 10th Anniversary Celebration
It's hard to believe, but January 2012 represents the 10th year anniversary of the Higgins Beach Monthly Fix!! The domain registration for www.HigginsBeachProperties.com was initially filed on January 16, 2002.
At sunrise on February 2nd of 2002, Lisa saw a beautiful pink cloud outside her dining room window and thought that it would be nice to have a sunrise photo on our new website. We've never stopped sharing beautiful moments, community events and real estate news over the past ten years. We are very pleased to be celebrating this tenth anniversary and thank you for being with us all along and for sharing your family history photos and stories as well.
To celebrate this special release, we have been reviewing our archives, reliving moments and events and have also reflected on great neighbors and friends who sadly are no longer with us.
Ten years ago, we were taking photos with a 1 megapixel camera that recorded images on a floppy disk. We still have the disks, but no equipment that uses them! We've enjoyed using new technology to bring you better photography, as well as an improved webcam and video.
Ten years ago, a whale had not yet recently washed up on Higgins Beach. The clubhouse at the Ledges was still standing as were the elevated cottages that Mary Kelly used to rent on the right side of what is now Kelly Lane. There was no dock in front of the lobster shack across the river. You could still get a paper at the old store. There was a stone cottage on Ocean Ave and a log cabin on Shipwreck (but it was called Bayview Extension). We had wooden stairs to get down to the beach which were attached to a poured concrete seawall. On a more recent note of ongoing change, we now have a sidewalk along Ocean Avenue and a great deck dining area attached to the Higgins Beach Inn. The Breakers Inn will also sell you a take-out sandwich for the beach!
Today, for a daily beach fix, you can find us on Facebook (just search Higgins Beach Properties).
Enjoy!!
