Police arrested anyone for drinking in public. Clubs, including The Candy Store and The Button, were demolished, replaced mostly by restaurants and hotels. Route A1A was realigned, with southbound traffic moved two blocks inland. Much of the city's nightlife now centers on Beach Place, where clubs such as Hooters, Lulu's Bait Shack, and Sloppy Joe's share space with retail outlets such as Banana Republic, all under the watchful eye of police officers and stern, beefy security guards. Students, along with people in their 20s and 30s, order drinks at outdoor tables.
Young men call out to young women, but tentatively, and mostly they just stare.
In other words, there is little that should shock reasonably informed parents of the day. Some might even find it reassuringly tame. This is pretty much good, clean fun. I'm no more trashed than I get at college in general. The drinking age is 21, and in the past year, the city began forbidding bars from admitting anyone younger.
