Description
Crabby Joe's in Daytona Beach, Florida. Beautiful sunrise on the beach. Right now we are not able to go there because of all the damage from the storm Ian. It has done so much damage along the coast of Florida.
When Tropical Storm Ian tore into the Volusia County coast on Sept. 29, it ripped away roughly 250 feet of the pier that has been a beloved landmark since it was first built in 1960. It also left behind extensive damage to the restaurant’s main dining room as well as other portions of the operation including its gift shop and other mechanical components.

“We lost a walk-in refrigerator and a walk-in freezer in our parking lot,” said Barshay, who has co-owned the restaurant and pier in partnership with the Blickman and Hooper families for more than 30 years.
“There will be a lot of stuff to be replaced, whether it’s equipment, furnishings or fixtures,” he said of a process that will involve electrical contractors, plumbing contractors as well as work on fire protection and other systems. “Everything that was connected to the building collapsed from seawall collapse.”
Pier repair is first priority
The initial priority, however, is piling repair and other structural work to return the pier to working order, Barshay said. Although contractors have been selected, he estimates that work might not actually begin until perhaps February or March due to factors such as permitting and material availability.

Amazing sunrise at Crabby Joe's, Deborah! I've been to this place on my one time visit to Daytona Beach. Sad to hear about all the damages to this beach cafe! I wonder if Charlie made it through the storm ok? fav
