Don Spicer & I would walk home from late night Frisbee marathons at the Beach Store & on the way we would lay out in middle of 4 Corners & watch the lights change. I tell people now & they say "Well didn't you get ran over"? And then you'd have to explain that Naples closed down at 9pm (or earlier) & at 1 am in the morning the only other person out would be Barry Kee from the Police Department.

Just like the good old days, wait around for a couple hours until you could find some geezer to buy you beer...

Danny is dead on about rolling up the town at 6 or 7pm. When 7-11 hours were from 7am to 11pm and we didn't even have a 7-11...
ReplyDeleteThe old WT.Grants next to Publix on 41 closed at 7pm, and in the summer I think it was 5 or 6pm.

Ed Frank and some boys were bored one night and set some chairs on fire under the light and watched them burn for something to do.
