1. are you talking about the publix next to young circle? because a lot of crime goes down there.

2. I worked at the public by the young circle

3. Yes but I hate going anywhere south of Blue Heron. Nasty and ghetto

4. I thought Blue Heron was in West Palm Beach, thats well north of Hollywood isnt it ?

5. Good luck. I left there permanently in 1980 shortly after the S Fl riots.  I had family down there until 2005. My last and finally memory of Hollywood was as I was driving out of town, stopping at a McDonalds and discovering that not one employee spoke English. If you are moving back for the ocean, go to SW Fl instead. Still mostly Americans there. S Fl is lost to hispanics; if you are not one and certainly are not bilingual, you are both unemployable and not welcome there

6. Actually, Hollywood, Fl was built a short time after Hollywood, Ca. It was designed to compete with the Ca city for movie studio locations. Ironically, it would be about 70 years before that would be a consideration. Ca. has a now dead Fl democratic governor to thank for killing the growth of the movie industry in Fl. At that time the studios were seriously considering leaving Ca due to the rising costs of union labor. So Hollywood, Fl may have been the real Hollywood.

7. me too. 70′s and 80′s (early 80′s) were awesome. It wasnt so hot back then, where now people drop dead from the heat and humidity. I still remember as a kid, my mother taking me to the trampolines that used to be on the west side of the boardwalk, next to the old paddle ball courtd. Hollywood was very cool back then.

8. Since when Florida has Hollywood the real Hollywood is in Cali baby!!

9. Where in Florida do the waters start to get crystal clear?

18. probably more sharks here lol

19. Funny thing, passed that 6 Flags so many times driving by on 95 and never went there. There were some lakes/rock pits there back in the ’60s, my brother and I would bass fish there. Growing up in the 50′s and 60′s down there, no one today new to S Fl or no one younger can even imagine how much fun we had being kids there. There is a web site that you can find in a search on old Miami or South Florida. Lots of folks our age remembering those years and lots of photos of those times.

20. I miss the old arcade at Johnson Street too. I used to have a rivalry with a friend of mine playing the old hockey game in there. People here don’t even remember Six Flags Atlantis, which was huge, much less a small arcade. It’s a shame.

21. depends on where on the beach you are at, and if anyone is there at the time imo.

22. I remember this beach. Was nice, and the pizza place I ate there was nice. Beautiful beach.

23. I lived there till I was 9 years old, great place to live! I remember always having Six Flags Atlantis water park season passes, and Grand Prix Race O Rama! haha I went back by my old neighborhood and school recently and wow has it gone down hill and its basically a dump down there! Just overun by trash and foreigners, guess all the regulars got tired of it and left. Still trying to move back to South Florida in the next few years!

24. I lived in Hollywood from 1970 until 1980 but went to HS there and my family always went to Hwd. Beach from the 1950′s – this decade. Sadly they are all gone now and I left long ago to live in a safer part of Florida. Hwd. was truly a paradise, especially the beach and boardwalk. I miss things no one else younger now understands. A list of what is gone:
    People that spoke English and were polite, not rude.
    When crime was nonexistent (still best in S Fl).
    The old Playland Arcade at Johnson St.

25. PoopingD is wrong. It looks much more beautiful in real life , craziness or not.
