Old Orchard Beach

I live about 6 miles from the beach and have spent many summers working at hotels there, practicing my Québecois. Today I took a nice bike ride there and back, taking advantage of what looks like will be the only clear day of the week. It was pretty quiet and seemed like there were more Americans than Quebecers. If I could go back in time I would love to see what this place was like when my grandmother was young and The Pier was "the" place to be for entertainment.
