PlacesGoneBy[e] was hacked in January 2024 and we have been recovering from backups since then. Most of the site is back online, although we're finding some pictures and posts do not match, so we're having to go post-by-post and in some cases recreate the post/picture links. Please bear with us as we move forward.
A late Memorial Day weekend Saturday at the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, or what’s left of it. I remember coming here as a kid many times, and there’s even a family link, all of which I’ll go into in other posts other times. For now, I want to get the pics posted before I go too far down the rabbit hole again and they never get out there.

Its been just over a year since Wild Waters in Silver Springs, FL was finally closed (a result of the State of Florida taking over it and it’s sister park, Silver Springs, as well as the aging infrastructure of the park itself and cost to maintain/upgrade). I’d been to this water park more than any…
I’d heard a while back that Wet ‘n Wild, the first major water-theme park in Central Florida (and at the time of its opening in 1977 the largest in the world), was closing this year, and honestly thought it had already done so. Last week when we were down there (more on that in other…
I stopped into The Other Place, or rather the place formerly known as The Other Place, in July 2017 to snap a few pics before some greedy developer snags up this prime slice of real estate (now that the Hard Rock is in town I’m sure there’s going to be a development buzz….). I vaguely…
