“Black Point”
One of my old stomping grounds in the late 70’s. Used to race cars on long stretches of roads leading to nowhere and drink at an old, shacky bar at the marina on the creek with regulars that looked like they walked out of a Hemingway novel.
There used to be a Nike missile battery on the road leading to the marina. At night the missiles were illuminated, an awesome sight.
Did you ever swim at the cliffs where Old Cutler Road crossed a canal? I think it was Snowden Creek, or Centurions.
Wow .. you’re bringing back some memories. Snowden’s Restaurant, too. (I never swam in Black Creek, tho .. ;)
I don’t believe that I did, but I know where you mean. I had a friend of mine drive down that long stretch to the marina and right where the sharp curve is, went into the canal at a good clip:-( She died, the friend in the car with her lived, but had to swim out of the canal in the dead of night and walk back, what in the 80’s, was a very desolate road to the apartments by the junior high. They were both 16.
I went to that junior high though;-)
