    Looks like Bob Duffy's truck and trailer in the picture.

    Weeki Wachee is still in business but these day's I believe the State of Florida owns the attraction which still draws lots of people every week.
    My grand kids love to come from Dallas and each time they ask me to take them to Weeki Wachee for the mermaid show which they love.

  12. Yup. That shot is in Houston Texas. Imagine a typical day: 105 degrees Fahrenheit, 95% humidity.

    You joint offers air, and Billy Joe Bob's Chinese American Burger joint across the street doesn't.

    It's a good schtick I'd say. Along the lines of "Free Ice Water & 6 ft tall Jackalope" that Wall Drugs advertised.

    Lot to see in this pic: "tube" AC, dad drinking a Miller's beer in the car, and mom looking totally pissed.
