Isn't it funny how some things were viewed as 'scary' when we were kids and now aren't 'scary' at all?

Maryland Fried Chicken route and yes I had some for lunch.My wife didn't make me a sammich,so I commanded her to get me some chicken.lol.

I left the place as she wanted to eat with me. It wasn't that I wasn't interested that I was a bit sweaty and didn't feel right eating in.She laughed at me hiding in my truck as I parked behind MFC and ate. I did have to trim a meter there.This route has a lot if Memories.jaci,Nathan,my grandpa John,the Barber shop,days of playing stargate at the Majik Market.

Very old part of Vero as far as some stores.

No offense, but I laughed as well about you eating lunch in your truck!

People who work outside in the summer have a tendency to become sweaty. Fast food (or slow fast food) places welcome everyone, which is why they have central air (usually) instead of floor fans for air cooling & circulation.

I didn't mention my usual dirty knees and shorts.I must look like pig pen at times.

I usually eat lunch in my truck.

I can understand why you'd prefer to eat in your truck, then.

Let's see if you know my town.No drone video or photo is outside city limits.Two churches I haven't photographed. One should be easy to spot since I have mentioned it Bell tower. I could rattle the routes all those are on.

 

[AirDancer]

I recognized the church that you've photographed & shared here before.

That's quite an ad for someone running for city council.

Consider his audience and who he has.all locals who are natives.that's who he is reaching too.the spirit of Vero.the Route I did yesterday ends at Young's Park.it's his namesake.That's his Grandfather. You didn't notice the Ocean Grill?I haven't photographed his home. It's on the route I throw papers on and the st helens route.Three churches I haven't
photographed are ones I might.the one with the roads to north and south the Royal Palm boulevard and place.yes that one.it was years ago a palm tree farm for just Royal palms.

 

[AirDancer]

Yes, I noticed the Ocean Grill ... even heard reference to it (and the dessert cart!).

I ate there once.100 plus plate.

 

[AirDancer]

When I was a teenager, there was a particular venue where some of the political fundraising events took place. Their dessert cart was huge, and every single dessert offered was delicious! Did you know that if the desserts offered are simply delicious, some people have more of a tendency to open their checkbooks a bit wider and write larger checks?

The Ocean Grill was the officers club? What a spectacular setting!

Yes it was.I'm not sure if Waldo Sexton leased it to the Navy or they acquired it or he built it for them.I'm sure the book about this station will have the info.

The inn was home to the W.A.V.E.S. The story says these were allowed in the club.

No doubt they were allowed in the club. Made life more interesting that way for everyone!
