Spring Break



The celebration of spring isn't a modern era thing. We know that Greeks and Romans did it - but did you know that Spring Break, as we kind of know it now, started with the building of Fort Lauderdale's first Olympic-size pool in 1928?

It was considered HUGE at the time and was a place where the city's top competitive swimmers could come when they were between classes. It evolved into a place that LOTS and LOTS of students could go for a 'break.' Sadly, what might have been a testament to wellness descended into debauchery and Fort Lauderdale's mayor had to publicly disinvite "Spring Breakers" in 1985. We just have so little self-control. So, it's almost Spring Break, on Friday, at 4:00 pm, go have fun before you' get yourself disinvited!
