North Florida Fair – 2017
A few snaps from today’s venture to the next-to-last-day of the 2017 North Florida Fair. See it before it was setup in an earlier post here.
North Florida Fair 2017 – just around the corner….
I took a ride south of town this afternoon to see if there was anything already being prepared for the 2017 North Florida Fair, which run November 2 – 12, and sure enough there were a few trailers already being placed in the open field. We had such a good time last year (here and here),…
Eggman? Behind Waterworks – Tallahassee, FL – October 20, 2017
This crazy remnant was loitering on the wall behind Waterworks, what could it be? The last time I was in Waterworks it wasn’t even yet Waterworks, it was still the old Kent’s Northside Lounge. And I was only there a couple of times, my old-man-dive-bar back then was the Office Lounge, and while Office Regulars (of…
Gum/candy Machines – Zaxbys N Tallahassee – September 29, 2017
Ah, the old wall of candy and gum machines! There was a bank of these inside the Roses store in DeLand (it wasn’t a “discount” outfit then, it was still middle-of-the-road, I’m sure it was…) when I was a kid that I would covet over for hours (OK, I’m sure my dad only let me linger…
Bread and Roses – Tallahassee, FL – September 17, 2017
A couple of pics outside Bread and Roses Co-op, the Bread and Roses Kitchen, and the Going Places Outreach, all Railroad Ave in South Tallahassee. These are all good places to support.
Alcove – Old Tallahassee Mall – August 31, 2017
On North Monroe Street in Tallahassee there used to be an enclosed mall creatively called “The Tallahassee Mall”. It was the second of three malls that used to service the Capital City (Northwood’s being the first, and Governor’s Square being the younger, and bigger brother). When I was first in Tallahassee for my two years…

Sweet Shop – Florida State University – Tallahassee, FL – June 22, 2017
It has probably been 25 years since I stepped foot into the Sweet Shop across from the FSU campus, and while a lot has changed at FSU over those years there’s a lot of the 96 year old Sweet Shop that is still the same. I was disappointed to see that the juke box which…
Jubilee Orchards – Tallahassee, FL – Sunday May 7, 2017
We took a short (about 10 mile) drive up Miccosukee Road this afternoon to a you-pick-em blue berry orchard: Jubilee Orchards. It was a nice way to spend a not too warm spring Sunday, except of course for the gnats… But in any case we would highly recommend heading out there, but you’d better hurry,…
North Florida Fair 2016
After our scouting trip on Tuesday we were all set for a fun afternoon at the North Florida Fair, and after cashing in a couple Savings Bonds to cover the costs away we went. It was a nice, somewhat cool day and thankfully the fair was not crowded at all, although by the time we…
