For this free write, I will talk about Panama City Beach. It is a small city northwest Florida. The city is well known for spring break. College students from all over the US go to the beach to party. MTV, two years in a row, hosted their spring break there. There are nightclubs, bars, restaurants. Club La Vela is the best known nightclub, which is the largest nightclub in America. It is several stories high, and has daytime and nighttime parties. It is apopular place to go to run away and relax from school, work, and other things in life. The beach is considered “The Spring Break Capital of The World”. Over 500,000 colleges and highschool students arrive between the months of March and April
Unfortunately, some people get so heavily intoxicated that they die. On average, spring breakers will average 18 drinks perday for guys and 10 for girls. The tourism leaders actually want to clean up the “hardcore” party image a bit. Every year a christian organization from all over the US, comes to Panama City Beach to talk with the partyers. It is helpful as some of them are letting loose, not using thier judgement in making decisions. The people from the christian organizaitons can help them and even talk with them about themselves. It seems like a lost cause, but it helps the party-goers think about things for a moment and second-guess their actions
