My hometown of Fort Lauderdale is a city on Florida's southeastern coast, known for its beaches and boating canals. The infamous beach "strip" is a promenade running along oceanside highway A1A.
It's lined with upscale outdoor restaurants, bars, boutiques and luxury hotels. Other attractions include the International Swimming Hall of Fame, with pools and a museum of memorabilia, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, featuring trails and a lagoon.

My city born and raised #954 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Broward County had a population of 83,000 in 1950 and now it's around 2 million.
I remember moving down to fort Lauderdale from Bennington Vermont in August 1965... it was a paradise then, and I used to get up at midnight and ride my brother's bike to Ocean World on 17th Street causeway, I climbed over the wall and snuck in and played with the dolphins several times before I got caught, IT WAS GREAT!! 😃😃
Oh wow I remember that place then it turned into the Art Institute.
@@Scrapla1 Yes I think so
What a beautiful place it was
I was saying I moved to Pompano Beach where I grew up ! 26ave now Harbor Drive , We bought the house for 16thousand and I sold it for 300k in 2003 . But growing up in So.Florida was great , long before I-95 and all of the fucking traffic !
Was a most wonderful place to grow up in the late '60's thru the '80's! Still a great city, but way too crowded and stressful place to live now, sadly. Feels like Miami in a bad way these days.
This looks like the section of the beach from the Bahia Mar, with the Yankee Clipper hotel, to Las Olas I used to swim and skin dive off the jettys there from1966 to 1969 when I was in high school(Stranahan Sr High).
I was a senior at stranahan in 1965
@@joeweider9471 The Mighty Dragons - burnt orange and royal blue. I remember Harold Moser as Principal and Robert Childers as Dean of Boys. I had William Augustine as a physics teacher, Bob Sharp teaching English and Carol Turner as the head of our Thespian Troupe(#1831). I think that one of my math teachers(Ruth Shetler) may have been a classmate of yours.
It's a shame how Broward county has let the school deteriorate into a dirty dump.
@@videomaniac108 nice to hear from you jim! we moved to fort Lauderdale in August started school in September I guess, but we went back to Vermont October 15th so I was only at Strahan for a few weeks... I don't remember any of the teachers and I wasn't there long enough to make any friends... I didn't even know that was the school sports name, dragons🤗
I've been living in Vail Colorado for the past 3 years, and I met a guy in a grocery store a few weeks ago with a Florida shirt on, and I asked him whereabouts he said fort Lauderdale and told me he went to stranahan high School, shows you how small the world really is--😃
amazing to see how much space and air between buildings there were, i bet it was so pristine minus the smog from the pre-epa vehicles back then..
I was Born in Holy Cross Hospital in 1958 and we lived in Wilton Manors until I was 3 and moved T
I was born Broward general hospital 1958 grew up in Lauderdale Manors
Love my city born in Miami raised I. Lauderdale unfortunately the city has changed quite a bit
Extremely nostalgic
Yes, it's very cool #retro :)
The good ole days of Broward 🌞! I moved to Wilton Manors in 1969 from South Miami and lived there until 1995. The late 90's it really started changing. A lot of Broward natives and long time residents left because of the crime and corruption. Now it's mostly just transplants who come with their money.
@@bevbryant8272 Still here holding the line! since the early 70's!
@@bevbryant8272 .. houses there in Wilton Manors are now around $500k to well over a million. Apts there are starting at around $1,800 for a small 1/1 and going up to around $3k. Nobody can afford to live there anymore, I know because I used to live there.
I look at this then I look outside, then I look back at this and back outside thinking to myself "what a shithole"
Yep
Same
Wow 😯
Thanks for checking it out !

It has been sad watching Broward implode. I wish I could take the cold so I could leave like everyone else has. I will probably end up dying here a miserable old man.
@@dronejack6417 yes I totally agree with you at one time it was a paradise but sadly now it a congested concrete jungle with crime and drugs everywhere. My family moved to Broward in the early 70s and I can tell you it most certainly has changed for the worse🤔
This place blows-- and I've been here all my life. I'm 33 now and I wanna get the fuck out!
@@KingCajete .. go west to 95 then turn right for about 8 hours then say hello to Georgia.
Lived on 11 ave by 5 pionts
Damn
Everyone has a ball in FLL, love it...
Old promotional vlogs should be brought back.. these kids could use some culture from the CRAP they see today...
This was filmed before the Yankee Clipper was built. The Gill family built it and many other beach hotels. My grand dad moved to Lauderdale in 1902 as a surveyor and road builder. I had to leave the area in the 70's. Too many people have destroyed it.
the Yankee clipper was in this film... I was living in fort Lauderdale at the time, it was definitely there during the time of this filming
@@joeweider9471 Hey Joe, you are right. My grandad took me out with Mr. Gill to see where they were building it. The cabanas were already there I must have been a little younger than I remembered. The main structure was built in 56. Time slips away so fast. These were the best of times.
@@docdurdin oh, they sure were, doc! I'm planning on moving back to South Florida from Colorado, but probably somewhere in the keys since that South east coast is such a mess of traffic and crazy people right now 😆
My parents got married there and my grandfather was the Gills blacksmith
Does anybody remember the Aqua Addicts dive club and the Greenback Surf Club from this area?
Ft. Laud isn't the same without Ronnie B...he don't even border in Pompano. Who is going to bring back to Pompano Ronnie B's and get rid of present era of filth?
