If you do, you probably have gray hair and are old enough to be a grandparent!
This institution in downtown St. Petersburg was billed as the "World's Most Unusual Drug Store" and was a sort of forerunner to Wal-Mart SuperCenters but sounded to me like a lot more fun. I actually saw the building when my family vacationed at St. Pete Beach in 1983, after it had closed. The site is now part of the pro baseball complex.

I remember it well, i think somewhere the original drug store was actually inside, i liked the talking mermaids upstairs and they also had a great little soda bar where you could get a great shake..
The good old days for sure.

I think they had a smaller 2nd location on 66th and Park Blvd.
I think St. Petersburg College has a Medical School on the site today.
I believe the building was still there in the late 1970s when I moved to Pinellas County,
but the store had been closed, not too sure. I only recall due to the Skate Board Park on Park Blvd. in the general area we use to ride in.
