A long-time sailing couple, David and Jill, cruising in their dinghy on Las Olas Mooring field A 32-foot DownEast sailboat Chip Ahoy and a 44-foot CSY, Shibumi, moored in Fort Lauderdale's Las Olas mooring field. Green shady spaces on the Riverwalk offer a pleasing contrast to Lauderdale’s hot (in more ways than one) beaches. A sailboat departs from Rodriguez Key Anchorage, near Key Biscayne, at sunrise. Chip Ahoy, on her way from Marathon to Miami, and eventually Indiantown Boatyard, would soon follow.

Rock and Roll Heaven: Sharing the Music of Dodge Street Band

You walk up to the stage and hand Dodge Street Band a song request written on a napkin, or shout it above the noise of the rowdy crowd. What song is it? Share your Dodge Street memories. Thanks to Bill Brotherton of White Trash Karaoke for sharing the archives.
