Not a blog more like another pier banyan tree, a place to come & sit for a little while & wait for something fun to happen. A place for all the greezers, candyasses, Halloween egg throwers, former Publix bagboys & dirt bike riders to kill a little time until Halloween. Just like the good old days, wait around for a couple hours until you could find some geezer to buy you beer...
This looks pretty early. Broad Avenue stops at Fourth Street. Tenth goes through, but no Outboard Marine Corp.
Just shy of the City Dock you can see the “Old Cove” restaurant owned by Bill Yeaman after August 1956. It was “The Place” to go for dinner in “Old Naples”. To the right, before you walked out on the City Dock, was “Robbie Robbins Sportspot Marina”, featuring Thunderbird boats, Evinrude, Johnson and Gale (really) outboards. Boston Whaler had not even been invented then, much less become a brand.
No, Seagate Homeboy says...
