this was a full service gas station and garage. it is now closed. it was open up to decemember and stopped selling gas about two years before. I am old enough to remember leaded gas and also full and self serve gas stations and long before the 7 11's , Cumberland farms and wa wa type stations. the glass area here is where one could find snacks and so forth. in my state one would have tourist attractions and post cards and also fruit to buy . hale groves, and gracewood come to mind and others. it was common to have bushels out in the isle for sale and also these stands also were always along well traveled roads, this station is one of them that could have had that. perhaps the owner who knows I tagged him will comment on his memories of the running this. what is your recollections of cars, old dinners and such things?

Related ,i plan to visit titusville .j saw a few things I need to photo. It was once my county's seat ejej it was all brevard county .old homes, churches in that area
 
Gatorland in orlando? Its still around.

I remember a full service gas station in my area when I was a kid in the 80s. For some reason it also reminds me of those old credit card transactions where they used carbon paper to make and imprint of the card on the receipt.

Knuckle buster ,gatorland zoo was deland.irc .I know it was around still but I was mentioning the ones I went too the other two are closed.
 
The home ,still stands. I have a photo untouched Spanish home, it would fit on the mainland
 
Knuckle buster - yup! I had to use one every once and a while when I worked retail in HS and college.

I haven't been to Bok Tower yet but I want to go when the azaleas are blooming.
If you make it to Titusville, head inland a bit for Fort Christmas (if you haven't been already).

Sometimes I think growing up in Central FL has spoiled me rotten. When I was in school, our field trips would be to places like NASA, Universal Studios, Epcot, I think Gatorland too. We went to Fort Christmas at one point too but I don't remember what grade.
