With Daytona Beach being dubbed the “World’s Most Famous Beach” since the 1920’s, and the business community there deciding that something had to be done to keep from losing that reputation; citizens, merchants and local government came together intent on reducing the eyesore of vagrants, the health hazards they bring with them, and criminal activity that follows transients and panhandlers.
