Re: pic: South of the Border
I dont know how long they have been there, since the 50s?

I stopped there back in the 70s when I was in the Coast Guard in WPB Florida, driving either way back home to Buffalo. It makes a good milestone pitstop, being right on the boarder between states, because you tend to gauge where you are on a long trip by the state lines.

And also because you could buy fireworks in South Carolina, but not in North Carolina.

How many countless thousands of parents, taking their kids to florida on Route 95, had to listen to the kids in the back seat, for 100+ miles

when they started seeing the billboards: "CAN WE STOP AND GET FIREWORKS? CAN WE STOP AND GET FIREWORKS? CAN WE......"
