Maybe true in a historic sense. The Island definitely has a, um......'colorful' past.
I used to spend a lot of time out there. More at the Isthmus than in Avalon. But I'll tell you, during the summer, when that second ferry is heading back, it's packed will Illegals. I always wonder where the hell they kept them all during the day.
I am not naive, but how can this happen? I thought Catalina was still owned by the Wrigley family. Either way, it's not to big to police by helicopter.
If these illegals are not being detained and deported, I blame Gov. Schwartzeneger, as well as cities like Long Beach, which is where the boats dock.
