Wow! great video! I spent junior high and high school in FWB (Pryor and Choctaw '69) It was a great blast from the past. Does anybody have any photos of Tower Beach Pavilion or the way Wayside Park looked before it was developed?

I've spent a few nights at Victors's Disco back in the 70's with my girlfriends! I'd forgotten about the name etc. thanks for posting.

Let's see how far some of you go back... does anyone remember "Earthquake O'Runyuon's"? It was almost next door to the original "Faux Paus". I went to Victor's once or twice but certainly don't remember any of it...

Does anybody remember the Robert E. Lee club on the bay in the mid 70's?

**Lake View Too** · 04-03-2009, 06:29 PM

I remember the Robt. E Lee but only went there once. The original Hog's Breath was the only place back then, but maybe it was the Little Bar???

The remaining icon of "Happy Days" is the 50's era Goofy Golfs. When the kids' kids come to visit, we always seem to make our way over there at 'their' insistence...an evening of good fun and great memories.

I got my tour card playing "Goofy Golf". That place is a time capsule for sure. I remember Cash's Faux Pas and can remember seeing the Destin city limits sign in front of the Green Night.

Who remembers the A&W hotdog stand in Destin?

I remember that. I also remember back when you could rent a small apartment on scenic 98 (back when it went all the way through) for about 600 a month all summer long. Summers during college break sure were a lot of fun back then. Working two jobs, drinking beer and playing volleyball on the beach till 3 am, hitting Fish Heads after work with all your friends.. man, great times. That really wasn't that long ago really. 20 years sure can change things.

I went to YT and found Ft. Walton Part Deux.

There's a saying that-----------"You know you're old when you watch them tare down what you watched them build".
