By far my most favorite thread of the entire NT, six flags was great, any corl springs head another great memory was Galaxy Roller Rink and when i played for North Lauderdale football we had a huge fight against Coral Springs ( I didnt do much fighting but the CS teams was running into strangers houses ).

I miss Castle Grand Prix.
 
My 305 Nters!!

Cant forget FCAT day's and the entire school district on a small stretch of beach. (southpoint)
K.R.E.A.M ya digg?
 
I wouldn't put Zoe's as one of the best things about Miami, but definately memorable.

Northwestern and Carol City were the official high schools as far as sports, parties, dope boys, etc., but Norland, American, NMB, and Killian had the broads. I put work in at all of those schools.
 
I am heading back from ATL tommorrow gonna head by the old neighboorhood ( oakland park and 55th tree Gardens ) I remember waiting for the city but by the wall and throwing rocks at it why becuase we were stupid kids.
