Never was able to make it to Florida for spring break when I was in college, but this year I’ll be on a hall pass and have friends at PCB that invited me to stay. Looking forward to the eye candy.
However, trying to time my visit to avoid the worst traffic around Easter.
Hood rats.
This might be one reason why ...

“Boys in bikinis, girls in turquoise.”
Darkies got too violent and refused to pay at restaurants.
pavement ape gatherings
This happened in Virginia Beach back in the 80’s. Somehow they got it under control
Grew up in Fort Lauderdale, the home of spring break and Where The Boys Are.
Was even in the movie’s street scene crossing, A1A in the crowd.
Besides me, my Mom, brother and 15 year old uncle were in the scene.
(I was 8 years old)🥴
Many many spring breaks as I grew up.
The mayor and city council ended it all after so many years!🤬
Couldn’t handle the crowds and drinkers any longer.☹️
Boys will be boys. And girls just wanna have fun. So give them a week off from their responsibilities to bask in the sun, with lots of alcohol and some drugs…. It’s a recipe for disaster!!!!!!!
Ah,the annual Virginia Beach bathing beauty contest... ;)
BIPOC. If they must know.
The Spring Breaks were invaded by mutant octopi descending into the street crowds like dark monsters with arms punching, thrashing and swinging people into the pavement. They were fueled with drugs and plenty of alcohol. The terror of screams and shock rang through the civil order of the night.
I grew up in Fort Lauderdale.
At best, the city tolerated Spring Breakers. Every couple of years there would be a push to “end” Spring Break and they would crack down on drinking in public, capacity caps at local drinking establishments, public indecency, stuff like that.
It would get quiet for a while and then, slowly, the students would come back.
My friends who still live there say it is much more...urban than it used to be. A lot more violent as well.
I saw The Police on one of their first American tours at Summer’s on the Beach when I was 16. I was not impressed at the time. They had so few songs in their playlist they played some of them multiple times.
I learned much of the female anatomy from wet t-shirt contests held at the various bars. I learned that the Elbo Room, while famous, was boring. I learned to stay away from The Poop Deck.
I’m glad I got the Spring Break experience of the 1970’s and 1980’s. I don’t think they can have such a thing in today’s world any more.
Being retired, every week is spring break 🤣🤣🤣
Thousands of kids. No repercussions if they do stupid stuff and are arrested. Why risk it?
is it black folk? Just the loud obnoxious ones?
The $$ cost is greater than the $$ revenue received
Spring Break is more trouble than it is worth
Because it changed color.
The people who made America great didn’t
do things like spring break.
To be honest it seemed like it took on a different tone when spring break became multicultural.
