And the 41st Squadern air force Resturant right near the Clearwater airport runway.

U betcha, the old Tanga. plenty of fine T & A up in there. Chief Charley's....It was impossible to have a friend or aquaintence back in the high school days that didn't work there as thier first job. Big Boy's, remember it well. I think your referring to the 91'st Aero Squadron....cool place, you could put on headphones in the booth and listen to air traffic communication from St. Pete/ Cwr Airport. The good ole days indeed.

I haven't been by there in a fews I guess now that I think about it. So the Mustang is gone?! Wow. I used to go to the flea market there back in the early 90's. It was a great flea market.

"The Barn" bar on Hillsborough, just east of the Pinellas County line. We'd leave the Pinellas bars at midnight and hit the Barn to get that extra hour of partying.

Most of the orange groves in the area are gone. I think only a couple are left.

El Gordos on St Pete beach, Pinellas Square Mall, I remember when the Vinoy was closed. Scary driving by there at night.

It was there for a short time...maybe a couple of years. It was on the right, just before the light at Rocky Point.

There's a place called Aquaknox there now.

Oh yeah! Tracks was a great club...I had lots of good times there.

Anybody remember The Thirsty Troll in Ybor? It was right up the street from Café Creole, which is gone too, sadly.
