Its still there, in the island between lanes on the way to the wharf. I remember the Town Criers. Too bad they don't have one anymore with all the "show-biz" types about. The last incarnation would shill restuarant's specials and what shows were on in town along with the local news. Local businesses would sponser him and his vocal adverts.

Thanks, I knew it probably was. Like I said, I was probably distracted. Funny how things change there. No more town crier ringing his bell, but kids on roller skates handing out coupons for henna tattoos and discounts. My dad showed us super 8 movies he took in the 60's there. We were in a restaurant and he took a lot of footage out the window of nice looking (by standards at the time) girls walking by. Now I felt like the shoe was on the other foot and I was being followed by ten sets of eyes from inside a coffee house. Oh well what goes around comes around, I guess.

Yeah it feels weird when they "Undress you with their eyes"  |

They probably still throw the coins in but the kids don't go in after them because they might get their I-Pods or hand held video games wet!!!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Last time I saw anyone diving for quarters it was grown men diving for beer money.
