Capitol Drive-In, aka Four Points Drive-In
Capitol/Four Points Drive-In Tallahassee, FL June 8, 2016
Florida Welcome Station, aka Florida Citrus Center
Sunday, May 29, 2016 I-75 Exit 404 18625 NW County Road 236 High Springs, FL 32643 This is a classic stop, mostly because it is steeped with that classic mid-70’s feel, which probably because most of the items in the shop look like they’ve been there since the mid-70’s. Tourists are lured in with the…
Daytona Boardwalk
May 28, 2016 Daytona Beach Boardwalk A late Memorial Day weekend Saturday at the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, or what’s left of it. I remember coming here as a kid many times,
Coin-Ops | New York | NYC | Phone Booths
Phone Booth – Central Park – NYC – June 26 2015
A couple from the back-log, this could also be posted in PlacesGoneBy[e]’s sister blog A Scrod In New York, but its more fitting here I think. This phone booth was just off the terrace over Wollman Rink in Central Park (which doubles as a carnival in the summer). I went back by there in 2017…
Florida | Hotels | Restaurants | Roadside | Stores
Perry Hotels/Motels/Restaurants – Perry, FL
On one of my jaunts down US 27 to Central Florida I finally took time to stop and get a few snaps of the various hotels/motels/etc around Perry, FL, which at one point, before the interstates I’m sure, appears to have been a major stopping point for Yankees heading south, but today is just barely…
Luzy Ho’s (aka Uforia) + Mark’s Bar – Tallahassee, FL
This was the original location of Lucy Ho’s, a Tallahassee institution. Later in life it was known as Uforia (as can be seen on the signage), and there was a little bar off the right called Mark’s Bar, ran by a guy named Mark. Now (Feb 2018) it’s been demolished and something “new” is being…
Ming Tree Chinese Restaurant – Tallahassee, FL (Updated March 30, 2015)
Update from March 30, 2015 – The Ming Tree has been demolished and construction is underway on its replacement, Maddio’s Pizza, plus a few other stores.

The Collegiate Village Inn – Tallahassee, FL
Built in 1971, this was a 160 unit motel with what was billed as a large lobby area, restaurant and conference rooms. It was two stories with concrete block construction and a brick veneer. The property was 3.4 acres and zoned CP “Commercial” with 400 feet frontage and a full median cut. The 2007 property…
So Long Lafayette – April 2014
Lafayette Motel Tallahassee, FL April 22, 2014 This is another one from the old Blog Host that stayed in draft mode forever. It was uploaded on June 11, 2016 but the pictures are from 2014. The pictures were also taken on an older phone so the quality and size aren’t as good as we’re getting…
A quiçkie while I wait….Old Chevron Station in Tallahassee – Corner of Ocala and Pensacola
While I was waiting at the meeting point for this week’s tailgate (NC State at FSU) I wandered.over to the case station/convenience store on the corner, which apparently is now closed and based on other areas of Tally probably slated to be torn down and replaced with something even more obnoxious. Since the building appears…
