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…

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…

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…

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…
