When I Was Young
When I was kid this was one of my favorite landmarks. This rock was huge and used as prop for a hotdog stand. The other side had a sad face.
Back in the day, there were two floats offshore, called appropriately enough, the big float and the little float. One had a high diving board and the other either had a low board or a slide. Maybe my sister will remember. [Photo thanks to Marc A. Catone]

Oh, how I remember! Summer days spent at the beach, listening to music, flirting with the lifeguards and having all that glorius water to splash in.
Yes, the big float had a diving board and the little float had a slide.
I can remember the huge sense of accomplishement when I finally made it to the big float. It was a rite of passage from kid to teenager.
BTW - the dog rock was still there last fall.
I remember the day I made it to the big float and the first time I had the nerve to jump off the high dive. And I mean jump. I never dove off.
And the snack bar. Pretzel sticks and that gooey carmel candy bar on a stick. What was that called?
Oh yeah, what were those caramel things? I remember losing a filling or two...
Sugar Daddy! That's what they were and you could get a bag of Sugar Babies that looked like little candy turds!
Sugar Daddy, that was it. Think they cost about a nickel and they lasted forever.
