RAZING OF A LANDMARK

DREW C. WILSON/The Virginian-Pilot

Atop a mound of debris that once was the Foots-Ball Palace, a

backhoe makes way for beach-view cottages in Nags Head. The

oceanfront arcade opened in 1948. Still standing is a sign noting

arcade rules. The palace's front door once opened near the sign.
