My friends and I respond to the the building of 25 cheap new houses along the swampy land on Seabreeze Avenue. We painted a sarcastic sign and nailed it to the newest home being framed. Milford, CT. Aug 1974 by WAVZ 13

My friends and I respond to the the building of 25 cheap new houses along the swampy land on Seabreeze Avenue. We painted a sarcastic sign and nailed it to the newest home being framed. Milford, CT. Aug 1974

Although not completely clear in this 110 film scan, the sign reads...

"Ruby Wino Presents SEABREEZE ESTATES! From $75,000 to $110,00. Choice location! Featuring exclusive Porto-San bathrooms available. Call (203) 877-GYPS."

In 1974, those prices were quite high!
75,000 dollars would be worth $431,853.04 today.
110,000 dollars would be worth $633,384.46 today.

These inflated prices were all part of the sign's humor considering how crappy these houses really were.
They were building one every several weeks.

We biked past the sign for weeks thinking it might actually help in attracting buyers. One day the sign disappeared without a trace. Probably torn down by the construction crew chief. Hope he had a good laugh, though.
