Was driving back from Perry recently and could have sworn I saw a new gun range sign on the way into Tallahassee. Anyone know anything about it? Maybe 10 miles east?

Yeah it's an actual place. That's why the sign says Capps... just like the sign that says Lamont, if you were looking at the sign, yo ass would be in Lamont....Quote:

The first time I did a run up US 27 I was 3 days old... and I dunno when dad began but he rode shotgun for a produce hauler from Cairo who ran regular loads to Fort Myers back in the early '30s. Then in the mid-1950s through about 1976 he drove a truck up then back down it every week. Dad said slow down religiously... very, very, religiously for Perry, and also to be observant of the speed limit at Capps and Lamont. I have to believe he knew what he was talking about.
I understand that Perry was also a very bad place to be caught DWB, back in the day.
In general, I make it a point to give all far-away small towns a close adherence to their speed limits because writing tickets to "outsiders" is such an obvious potential boost for local government revenues.
Capps & Lamont never had local police that I was aware of, but in my experience FHP seemed real attracted to that area... especially, or including, late at night.
I thought you came up here in the 60's to go to school, bought an overpriced coat and shit.....
True as far as it goes... I started FSU in 1967. We lived in Greenville for a year and a half 1960-1961, and I rode with dad sometimes during the Summer when mom wanted rid of me. I also worked for dad's business driving a truck one Summer before I started at FSU. I think that was the Summer of 1966. But all of my life I went back and forth through Tallahassee for one reason or another.Quote:

I-10 got built while I was in the Army and stood unconnected for a long time afterwards. I used to ride my bike up and down it for exercise while it was complete here but just completely unused. I never saw anyone on it, not even drag racing coppers. But speaking of copper... I rode back and forth by the "Coppertop" building... Commonwealth building, later Marjorie Stoneman Douglas building... little knowing that I would work in it for many years.
Was that place on the east side of Wacissa?Quote:

While we are talking about it, what is the new construction near capps, on the north side of 27? Bunch of long buildings with AC's.
That's the dope plant in wakeenah...Quote:

I figured it was either that or something goverment since it didn't have a sign saying "future home of".Quote:

A Trulieve facility.
Surerra has one in Capitola, but it hidden from the highway.
