My history of Pompano Beach is the 60s and the 70s. What memories. I was down there four years ago and marvaled at how much changed,but remains the same. I graduated from the high school in 71,surfed and spent my free time at he pier. Stayed out of trouble that way. Oh the memories! Good luck on the tour(s).

Appreciate the stroll down memory lane. This is good for the younger generation who don't know the area.
You should consider networking with the moms in the bizymoms Pompano-beach community.
