I had a high school friend who lived in OOB with his dad in a tiny apartment. Just from looking at the outside, I had to wonder 1) how that fit the both of them and 2) how they survived the cold of winters as well as crowded summers.

Myself, I've gone to OOB quite a bit. They had a bonfire event that was pretty neat, and so were the fireworks, but it wasn't eye-popping or anything. And going during the day was absolute hell, at least 5-10 years ago.

I'd much rather go to Ferry Beach down the road. Much calmer. The food is probably the best thing about OOB.
