My back deck has overlooked The Circle (or what's left of it now) for the last 10 years. If you want peace and solitude, come on down to the circle now. At 10pm on Friday and Saturday night I can go out on my back deck and it is silent ... not a car in sight. Yeah ... if you want peace and solitude, come on down to AB now. I came down here for 40 years and have lived here for 10 now ... if you remember the old days ... well ... it is very sad, but if you like peace and quiet ... come on down !

I spent my young teen years at that pavilion, then my daughter did as well. We have a place there now and take out grandchildren. That shows my age, but seems like yesterday...Yes, the circle is a changing..but at least I have fun memories. Still love my Atlantic Beach.  Thanks for the memories.
