Remember when Bahre wanted to build a 52,000-square-foot automobile museum/entertainment center next to his mansion.
Then along came a man by the name of Ron Bettencourt who is a 30+ year-Barndoor Island resident who led the neighbors charge against Bahre.
At one of the first ZBA hearings, Bettencourt referred to Bahre's lakeside estate as an "attractive nuisance."
I guess money didn't buy Bahre anything at that time because he decided not to build the museum due to Bettencourt's and the Alton selectmen objection.
I think that's how it went anyway.
