The Pleasure Point Roadhouse is an icon for the Pleasure Point surfing community. It is one of the oldest structures in our surf village. With its barn and out buildings, it is a link to our past. It was used for farming, vacationing, a roadhouse during prohibition, an early gas station, and a store. Ask for the Roadhouse to be saved for a Community Center and Park site. We need a site for a community center,a history/surf museum and many other good things. Please come and support and bring your ideas too. We support the recognition of this site as an historic resource and advocate that it be saved for these purposes.

A museum for our surf history would be perfect there. Makes way more sense than just another parking lot.

Too many historic spots in this town are getting torn down for condos. Keep the roadhouse for the community!

Used to pass by there every day on my way to the water. It would be a crime to lose that history.

Keep it for the locals. We need a park not more houses.
