Haven't been to Ft. Walton in 25 years....

Posted on 5/30/15 at 8:03 am
Since spring break in the late 80's and it has completely changed...
We're staying at Water Scape, which was where the Holiday in was, and the "famous" Ramada is now a Sheraton Four Points....
Cash's Feaux Pas is now a strip club, and the Green Frog no longer exist... But, Sammy's is still going strong...
All those "Airline Highway" motels like the Carrosel, and the Driftwood are now all condos along Santa Rosa... Even the Blue Horrizon is gone....
The Spring Breakers now go to Panama City, and Ft Walton is more family oriented, with nothing but expensive condos.... Wow have times changed....

Yeah it's a pretty nice place for a family vacation if you're too poor to do Maui

man, those are some places I haven't though of in decades...I used to go there in the early '80s...
kind of cool to hear you mention all of the old hangouts!...

Eglin NCO Club used to have the nicest stretch of beach along there, bar none.

Wow. A place changed in a quarter of century?
Posted on 5/30/15 at 8:25 am to Hangover Haven
Is the Islander still there? Or the Breakers?

The Blue wHor is gone? Say it ain't so! The threat of STDs probably dropped 25% when that thing was sold!!

Same here.

We used to stay at the Holiday Inn. Did they tear it down completely and start over? Or renovate? I remember the sliding glass doors.

Progress. This is a good thing.

Good.

May reconsider Ft. Walton again. We have been going to Naples, simply because of the slower pace that we prefer.

I haven't been to FW since 1990 Spring Break either. Holy crap that was 8-9 days of awesomeness which included Cash's FP almost nightly.

I may be mistaken, but nobody really goes to Ft Walton anymore, unless they are passing through on their way to the island or Destin. I'd only over go for the mall our the movies, and with the Carmike and the Commons in Destin, there's no point now.

No love for the SANDMAN yet!?
I believe it bit the dust too. RIP

You sure about that baw? I googled and yelped and it seems to still be there.

Do they still airbrush baseball shirts at those shops right before the bridge to Ft Walton?

That was the place in the 80's.

We have two places in Ft Walton at Island Princess...love it there. Wish there were better bars/restaurants (i.e. not as 80's/90's looking), but that's about it....way better than Destin and Panama.

The last time I was at the Blue Horizon I saw a pool of presumably human blood on the sidewalk beneath the balconies and a prostitute arrested for giving a blow job underneath the pier going towards the beach.

I've been going to FWB every summer for the past 12 years. I much prefer the atmosphere there to Destin. We stay at the Destin West right next to the Ramada but I've also stayed at Islander, Nautilus, Island Princess, Surf Dweller in the past. Walking distance to the Boardwalk, Sammys, Waffle House makes it a great time.

Not everything changes...I can remember meeting girls at Cash's that usually took their clothes off...
