Kevin, yes... from 1975 to about 1985 were the days of real fun along the beach line
as I call it. Bellaire Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, North Redington.
Reddington Beach, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island and St.Pete Beach.
All the little beach bars all the way down to St..Pete Beach. I was involved with one
of those bars. It was fun and the greatest times of my life. But.... now from
Clearwater Beach down to St. Pete Beach on Gulf Blvd is a concrete canyon of
multi-story condos and hotels. All the single tarazzo floor two and three room
beach cottages on the east side of Gulf Blvd are gone.
Are you talking about the store in Pueblo Village?
Anyway., here's a hint.... I went to a going away party for Steve Lamb who was
on his way to serve 27 months in Federal Prison. "A Smugglers Ghost."
I'll put it this way, Jimmy Bufftet had a lyric in "A Pirate Looks at Forty"....
"I made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it all away."
I'm currently writing a story about those times.
Whatever.... I remember those days.
