My husband's Aunt & Uncle were the original owners of the Launching Pad and were the ones that first purchased the Gemini Giant.

Really so you re related to the Luciano's then? They where amazing people back when I was a child and throughout highschool. Very sad the new owner had to go the route she did and is now ruining the towns rep and tourists location. No one is going to go see the giant at the VFW cause most of our tourists are from foreign lands......ohh well hopefully Wilmington gets there stuff together...

She’s 1000% bluffing. she won’t destroy it if it’s not bought for 100k she’s just looking to extort more money out of it.

I've heard from locals that the current owner is a nut case and she will destroy it just because she can. If it was only for money, she'd sell the property, restaurant and giant.

No she definitely would... The thing is the town needs to get rid of her! She causes accidents running up and down the street acting like a psycho. She's threw the jukebox and started smashing items from the store in the parking lot.she goes on crazy damn rants. It's not that she's actually crazy but just like the town after her divorce NOT THE DAMN TOWNS FAULT LADY! I seen people from the neighborhood try to help and talk to her but she calls them Satan chases them foreign objects (whatever she can get her hands on) I seen her chase off elderly and tourists with racks bricks etc....is this really someone that should own the icon let alone considered an actual resident of the town when all she want is war. I say get rid of her take the buildings and the green man....she's not fit to own a fish let alone....I'm gonna stop there! Save the pad the save the green man!

She does this to get a ride out of the town cause she burned all her bridges her called us all Nazis terrorists that are Satan worshipers and accused all who tried talking to her of having a lizard tongue. Hell half of it you can get from her crazy ass biblical ramblings on her car and fence. What's funny was her death threat against her current state x husband which is funny shit like that used to get people put in jail....
