    When I was a kid in the mid-1960s, my family moved to IB. We lived half a block away from the beach. The big estuary could be seen from our backyard. But the town itself was a sleepy, beat up old beach town.

    As a local, I can tell you IB was much different in prior decades. It was basically just a navy town with a fully operational base in the 60s. Going into the 70's and 80's meth and biker gangs/skinheads became an issue. The 90s saw a lot of gang violence. The town began to become more gentrified in the 2000s but was still socioeconomiclly depressed. For a long time people avoided this city, but that kind of played in our favor in the redevelopment of the city which still provides that small town feel, where those homes from the 60s are now selling for $1 million.
