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,

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…

The property was 3.4 acres and zoned CP “Commercial” with 400 feet frontage and a full median cut. The 2007 property…
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…
Abandoned | DeLand | Demolished | Stores
Woodland Plaza – DeLand, FL
When I was a kid back in the 70’s there was pretty much one “major” shopping center in DeLand: Woodland Plaza. This place had everything. It had a Roses, it had a Winn Dixie (or was it a Pantry Pride, or maybe both at different points…), it had a Super-X drugstore (which sounds like an…
