Miracle Strip to disappear forever

[avalon]

Buy the book

Lots of fun facts and old photos of the Redneck Riviera in a nice paperback called Florida's Miracle Strip. I bought it at Barnes and Noble bookstore, I believe. I miss the tacky charm of PCB in its golden years! Funny how a thing can come full circle and be cool again. Call it "retro" and the well-heeled will beat a path.

I visited there every June in the 60's and 70's while staying in BMB. So sad.

Thank you - outstanding pics. Have enjoyed reading all the posts. Wasn't the genie referenced prior a buddha? :roll:

Who here remembers the smaller amusement park on Okaloosa Island? It sat where the new civic center complex is.

Someone head over to PC Beach and buy up some nostalgia before Thursday.

I heard from a fairly reliable source that they are going to be building a "bigger & better" waterpark on the site.

Why a waterpark? They've already got one of those!

I was over there last week and they are clearing the property.
