MY FAVORITE FLORIDA PLACE
By Geoffrey Philp
We were two college kids—sea-crossed lovers from Colombia and Jamaica—and our families, divided by race and religion, were opposed to our relationship. We also didn’t have a lot of money, and we needed somewhere to go after the movies so we could talk and get to know each other. My wife’s family had spent many summers on Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, so when she suggested the beach as a rendezvous, I agreed. Little did I know then, 27 years ago, that the place would enchant me as much as it had enchanted her parents.
