Vintage Fort Walton Beach Video

[30ashopper]

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".

We were on our way to Disney World early that morning and passed it. It was listing terribly to starboard, as I recall. Wasn't it a bomb or a fire?
