Have you guys heard this story? Pretty wild...
We all know what a shitshow Hurricane Sandy was when it made landfall at the Jersey shore in October 2012. Homes filled with water. Boats washed up on people’s lawns and on the Brielle Avenue bridge. Also, a real estate sign went missing.
This sign had been planted in back of a house for sale on Cedarcrest Drive, facing a narrow inlet called Debbie’s Creek. The sign was 18 by 24 inches and about a half-inch thick and made of plastic composite. It disappeared along with the post it was mounted to and was never seen again.
Until around May 14, 2018. A man walking along the Plage du Pin Sec, near Bordeaux, spotted it. Evidently, Diane Turton, Realtors, needs no bottle to get its message out across the globe. As it turns out, its signs are seaworthy.
The for-sale sign made to a beach west of Bordeaux, France about 5½ years later, according to the real-estate firm based in Point Pleasant Beach. "Having our signage wash up in France on the beach truly proves that Diane Turton, Realtors is a global real-estate company," Perry Beneduce, the firm's marketing director, said with a bit of a wink.
