MY FAVORITE FLORIDA PLACE
By Geoffrey Philp
We were two college kids—sea-crossed lovers from Colombia and Jamaica—and our families, divided by race and religion, were opposed to our relationship. We also didn’t have a lot of money, and we needed somewhere to go after the movies so we could talk and get to know each other. My wife’s family had spent many summers on Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, so when she suggested the beach as a rendezvous, I agreed. Little did I know then, 27 years ago, that the place would enchant me as much as it had enchanted her parents.

Geoffrey,
this article sounds like the beginnings of a great story. I absolutely love a great love story. Hey, it's all about love. Thanks for sharing. I need to see about getting a copy so that I can read the rest. Peace~
Stephen, good to hear from you.
It is a love story...
Hey, all lovers of Hollywood Beach love my video blog of Hollywood Beach. We post new videos daily, most of the sunrises over the ocean and sunsets over the intracoastal waterway, but we have lots of other categories also that folks enjoy, like videos on the wacky broadwalk. Here is a link to "Lifes a Coast" if you would like to check it out... Oh, we also have pages about info on the area and visiting here, like that...
aha! now that sounds like a winning love story...
It sounds and looks marvellous. Look at yourselves, for Chrissakes.
27, huh?
