We use to surf before school, then skateboarded to Je Spence's house, I mean school. Haha we lived at Main Beach and lived on slaw Dawgs from the Putt Putt Golf. We gave tourist directions out of town. We had bonfires on the beach with kegs of beer. No one got in trouble unless they got out of control, but that rarely happened. Growing up in Dina was magical and I'm still friends with most of the people I grew up with. Life was a lot simpler then. Our biggest problems was who had some surf wax. lolL.Dowling IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407091393200883702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477830243923879776.post-21326832886794372872019-03-27T10:31:00.385-04:002019-03-27T10:31:00.385-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.L.Dowling IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407091393200883702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477830243923879776.post-89798159517725676442018-06-01T01:18:47.824-04:002018-06-01T01:18:47.824-04:00I grew up in Fernandina and graduated in the class...I grew up in Fernandina and graduated in the class of '54 and we also get together and have our reunions.

I was born & raised there and my parents owned & ran Moore's Grocery for may years. Several of my classmates from the Class of '57 still get together monthly. Back then Fernandina Beach was just a small little sleeping fishing village but it was a wonderful place to grown up in. No ever locked their home and most of the time left their keys in their car. I loved Blue Sea's Coney Island Hot Dogs and dancing out in front of the Blue Seas every Friday and Saturday night with our friends! We also loved riding our bikes down Fort Clinch road and climbing the sand dunes there. Those were the innocent, care free days that I will always cherish!Marty Moore Hugonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477830243923879776.post-45721619061743873102013-09-25T13:34:08.561-04:002013-09-25T13:34:08.561-04:00I never lived in Fernandina but had many cousins w...I never lived in Fernandina but had many cousins who lived there and every summer as pre-teen and teen visited there for at least two weeks during summer vacation.

Everything you mentioned along with playing pinball at funland next to the Blue Seas, getting free orange juice from the Florida welcome center at the docks where Baxters is. How about going to the Pirates Den on 8th st. to get soft serve ice cream. How excited everyone was the day Hardees opened at five points. The best times in high school when you could drive on the beach from the jetties to the south end, before Amelia Island got discovered. And I can't count how many times we spent fishing on the pier, the one by the Surf restaurant.

As with all good things, "they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot." I retired in a small community, not unlike FB in downeast Maine.
