Foley's empty subdivisions - Reports from the Press-Register - al.com

Foley's empty subdivisions - Reports from the Press-Register - al.com: "Along Ala. 181 in Fairhope there is Old Field, where 15 homes sit amid 136 empty lots. Across the north-south highway there is Dunmore, where a sign promises 'patio and estate homes' but all that sits beyond the decorative privacy fence is a portable toilet, Dumpster and a pair of idle backhoes. Along the Intracoastal Waterway in Gulf Shores there is Bon Secour Village, its first residential neighborhood mired in bankruptcy and half built, and Bartram Walk, a 99-lot subdivision that never got started."
