Will the new owners let us rake for blueberries on their property?

This is sad, but it's the new reality in these areas. Hardware and grocery stores become expensive galleries. A blueberry packing plant sells off its land for beachfront condos. Fishing, farming, logging or anything that might contribute to the economy of the region are called eco-hostile. Instead, the offshoring of largely nonexistent and probably more harmful to the environment manufacture jobs is blamed for the state's woes.

Such is life, I guess.
