Don't look now, but it's being torn down. There was a big crane there last week.

The home is gone. The park is getting a facelift. People's Beach's days are most likely numbered.

So many memories from Riis and one of the few places you could sunbathe nude (down at the end where it was always a beach party). Really sad if it gets gentrified.

Do you think it won't? Come on! Enjoy it while it lasts (if it even makes it through the summer) .
