When my dad got the keys to his new house in February of 1960, we were the 10th family to live out here. It's about six miles from Four-Corners and before I had a drivers license, a trip to town other than church or school was a big deal.

It's changed a little since then and it's still six miles to Four-Corners, but I guess a trip into town is no longer a big deal.
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...

Hey SH I guess we were distant neighbors and I remember it like the pictures. Things have changed a lot in 41 years. I think it was about 10 miles to town from Vanderbilt Beach, a very long walk if I didn’t catch a ride from you or somebody going way out there. Vanderbilt Beach? “What country is that”
