daytona beach, fl
really. my town sucks, but here goes...
shops
we have stone edge in south daytona on ridgewood. it's also a park. i've only skated the park once, and didn't really like it, but i guess it's not horrible. they have a pretty decent shoe and deck selection, but not much else.
we also have sandy point right south on the same road. not bad. again with the decent shoe and deck selection.
spike's athletic footwear (same road again) is several miles north. they have some harder to find vans (ie. vegan rowleys) but really specialize in basketball and running, so it's not te best.
spots
after the hurricanes, there was this house that got destroyed and abandoned. it had a sick pool. eventually, too many people found out about it, and it got filled with gravel.
in port orange on ridgewood, we have some ledges that are pretty decent.
also on ridgewood, behind the ice rink in south daytona isn't heinous.
beachside is littered with skate stoppers, but there are some bits of area here and there that are pretty cool. just takes some searching.
we also have a free park in ormond, but it's bmx territory, so it can get a little scary once the high schools let out.
food
avocado kitchen is probs our most veggie friendly place. they have a fucking amazing breakfast menu. it's on beach street.
peach valley has some of the best breakfast potatos i've ever had, and the fried artichokes are bomb as fuck. that's in ormond on granada near the beach.
there's a pretty good pizza place in ormond on granada and nova called pizzano's. probably the best pizza in town (although that's not saying much)
in south daytona really close to stone edge, there's a fucking amazing thai place called songkran. they can make anything vegan or vegetarian, too, as long as you specify.
other shit
really, all we do here is drink. or go to orlando, which is way better for everything i mentioned above.
note that if you're in town, just hit me up with a message. if i'm not down to chill, i'll at least give ya some tips on what to do while you're around. a lot of stuff is dependent on what time of year you're around.
SHIT!
almost forgot to mention!
thursdays is 50 cent beers at tir na nog (my personal bar of choice) and 75 cent beers at robbie o'connell's (full of douchebags, but they take longer to run out of the cheap beers). if you're under 21, if you hit the nog with me, you're set. otherwise they card. adamantly.
