March 8, 201510 yr It gave me chills! I use to live in Oceans Grand in Daytona Beach Shores for about a year. I lived on 19th floor and had a great view of the ocean. I could easily walk to the beach, but I just remember back to the horrible accidents that would happen on A1A every so often from car accidents to pedestrian fatalities. Walk across A1A to the beach you were really risking a good time for the sake of how truly un-walkable most of Florida is. Not to mention one night I was awoken to a car literally exploding going around a slight curve on A1A and slamming into a light pole right before the Top of Daytona which you got in one of your photographs. I honestly can't stand Daytona Beach and most of Volusia County as it is too white trashy for me. There is very little there (none in my opinion) in terms of quality urban development and quality architecture. This was the place that made me truly realize how much I miss the cities of the North. DeLand is nice (Stetson has a nice campus) and Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna is unique. I have had lots of good times and drinks at The Breakers Beach right at the end of the strip on the beach. Nice photos, though! The seasons are starting to change, and Spring will bring with it lots of color and good smells. The change of seasons is so much better in NE Ohio versus North Florida.
