It was last week, Saturday May 7. My wife called me and told me to come to Beach Street as something was happening there. There were plenty of people and the street was blocked from traffic.
Beach Street – a pride of Daytona's downtown – is trying to bring life to its beautiful but deserted blocks along the canal, Daytona marina... They run events time from time, crafts and arts shows, French Market, which bring a lot of people... This time there were cars.
Surprisingly, those old cars looked just great on Beach Street and the park. They were quite at home there. As usual, the scene of people walking the street was filling the heart with joy. It was life as it should be in a resort warm Florida town like Daytona Beach. And for Saturday, May 7 it sure was.
If somebody could just stopp this moment, and make it as full of life not only this Saturday, but every day, or every other day... what a dream. Funny, how Daytona managed to create dreams of the past... Because there was life in Daytona... Plenty of it. As usual, we are in search of our glorious past...
