And Skeeter's was one of a kind. You could go in there at 3:30 a.m. and somebody would be playing live music. The servings were HUGE. I think Dock Luckie set the record for eating 5 or 6 Big Biscuits at one time. I still have a T-shirt somewhere.

I know the one in Alachua has been there forever. I called my roommate from there when my car broke down one night on I-75.

The original was on Waldo Road near NE 8th. The one my buddies and I haunted was on SW 13th across from the Quality Inn. That's been abandoned for quite some time. I'd stop at the one in Ocala on the way home from WMOP after my weekend shifts for garlic bread to go! 40 CENTS!

Yeah, something like that. That big shopping center at Archer and 34th was just being built when I graduated. That included the newest Sonny's in town. In fact, Oaks Mall was finished just when I started there. The center where Skeeter's was the only "big" mall back then. Geez, I'm dating myself.

Hawaiian Village! And scary to think those buildings are at least 50 or more years old now. I think Camelot was a little bit newer. But 34th didn't go all the way to Archer at one point. And yeah, I could ride the bike past the law school and my broadcast classes were under the stadium.

This photo is from the family house in Coral Springs. And that's my cherished 1971 AMC Hornet in harvest gold. Our apartment was near University and 34th, back behind what was the Winn Dixie. I was surprised the Publix is still across the street.
