  • back when Spring Break WAS SPRING BREAK !!!! Before YO MTV RAPS fucked it up !!!!

  • I remember being a kid walking around the middle of that, I was about 9 yrs old.

    My grandfather's condo was a block away from The Candy Store, and every time I passed I'd try to get a peek of the wet t-shirt contests, lol..

  • Although I was only four then, I look at this and think "Ahh, the good ole' days"! I grew up spending my summers in Florida during the 80's & early 90's and I miss that. Thanks for sharing.

  • People were so cool back then. Everyone was more laid back, approachable and easy going. Even the tourists! BUT go back to S. Florida today, or anywhere for that matter, and you will see how the attitudes have changed. People today are more paranoid, suspicious and mean-spirited of each other. Very sad.

  • News doesn't look like that (fucking awesome) anymore.

    I would have loved to be there.

  • those where some crazy times. i was to young to enjoy the lauderdale years but i heard the stories from my older brothers. my first of many spring break was daytona '91 and again in '92. after that we hit up nassau and then montego bay a few times but nothing compared to the daytona breaks. god, what i wouldn't give to have those days back! the early 90's were definitely a different time. our only concern was what to drink and where the party was!

  • I was there in '84. I remember The Candy Store, Summers, and Penrods!, (flash of the sign in this piece brought it back). One of the best times I ever had. Party on the beach all day, bars at night with the wet-T contests. Man that was great!

  • @rloebe34 But then you would be 45 and not 21..for one spring break?....I would take that trade

  • I might still have my Penrod's cup somewhere. What a year.

  • I did a one man guitar solo gig upstairs in the Elbo Room, and played daily on the patio at Penrods.. looking back now its like an 80's movie! Best, Jeff Brian.
