Whatever happened to Stuckey's? They were our favorite stop on the way to Florida on vacation.

And remember when all the Howard Johnson's had orange roofs?

We played a game on the Florida trips where the first to call out a Stuckey sign got a point and when we reached the store the winner got to pick a refreshment. I got hung up on coconut milk drinks.

They were still around through the 50's as I recall. Maybe the early 60's. I miss them.
