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...

NO! Not More Pre High Falutin' Royal Harbor!
Note to H.Daniels you were wrong, Brookside candyasses would never go into Boat Haven's yard while police were there. We were too busy drinking the free beer we got off the boats the night before. :):):) Photo taken January 22nd 1963
The Loach house was out near the tail end of Snook Drive, on the right side of Royal Harbor (2nd street from right; looks kind of like a Z from ZZ Top).
Poppa Loach (Bill) was a realtor, and he chose a lot on the east side of the street with a back yard view that looked directly at the mangroves. At the time I thought it was kind of silly, building a house with a view of the mangroves.
If you look at an aerial shot of it today, almost everyone out there is looking at the back of their neighbors house, while the house he built "way back then", enjoys the sunrise, and an open non-traffic waterway with a mangrove backdrop that still shelters native birds.
I have a K.K/Boat Haven story, but I'll save it for the next Boat Haven picture....
