White House Visit (Now Gainesville Nostalgia . . . LOL!)

It was there in 70’s and until the mid 80’s. I lived the Gainesville from 1960 thru 2004

 

Wow, that’s awesome. My mistake then. We had a Whataburger or two open not much longer after Billy Donovan got here, and I thought it was touted as our first one. I want to say it opened up just west of 34th Street. Then it’s next location was just west of I75 on Newberry Road.

Go GATORS!

El Toro:
El Toro Mexican Restaurant | Alachua | Gainesville | North Central Florida | Our Location

 

The pizza place was big Lou's...the owner of emilianos died that's why they shut down

 

What sort of reason is that to close up?

 

What, no mentions of Chinee Takee Outee?

 

I got my car towed from that lot once.

 

We used to have two In-N-Out burgers.

 

O&B is where we used to go rush to get beer at the 1/2 in games. Then they stopped allowing reentry. It was amazing how much beer could be sold and bought in 20 mins. It was I believe the only place at the time you could buy beer on campus. Circa 94-95

 

Sorry I have to take the main responsibility with one other who I wont name for taking it off topic. Once you start naming a place these threads always need to happen every several years to get the new stuff in and for the old new stuff to become memories. i love the "remember Gainesville" threads that usually happen in SG but I suppose since there was a BB NC this year, makes sense. It makes you remember and almost smell and feel Gainesville tho don't it? I lived while I was young there. That much is for sure. Also when was there in in-n-out burger in Gainesville whoever said that???

 

Phish played the Bandshell a few times on their assertion. So did a lot of really good bands. We had a very good Student Union Productions in the 90s. Jewel. The Roots. Black Eyed Pees. Black Keys. Phish was amazing and so they continued coming to Gainesville at the Oconell Center. Tribe Called Quest. More.

 

There was one on SW 2nd Ave that now has a sign with something like Piper Gi's and one on Hawthorne Road. I know they were both there in 1982 and for a few more years.
