Looked online and learned that Circle K started out in El Paso TX circa 1951; its current headquarters are in Tempe AZ.
Of possible interest to those who travel to Florida and other southeastern states for business or recreation purposes:
There are lots of Circle K convenience store/gas stations located in Nassau, Duval, and St. Johns counties (FL). Some of them sell Exxon/Mobil fuel brands, the others sell Circle K fuel brand. Presumably, there are more Circle K stations located in other Florida counties.
WaWa is a Pennsylvania-based company that has opened a bunch of convenience store/gas station locations in Florida, many of them along Interstate 95 from Nassau County FL to Miami-Dade County FL.
Gate is a Jacksonville FL-based company with convenience store/gas station locations in Duval County FL and a few other locations in St. Johns county FL.
RaceTrac is an Atlanta GA-based company that operates many convenience store/gas stations mostly in the southeastern states, but also has locations in the Dallas/Ft. Worth TX area. Company owned stores are branded RaceTrac and franchise stores are branded RaceWay.
I remember my Dad and I coming to you Bacliff residence and repairing your pier or something and you let me use your binoculars as my Dad did the repairs.
Hi,
You delivered papers to this apartment? Yes, there were a lot of wild and crazy young people who lived there. Not me though.
A couple of my friends from high school got married and moved there and told me about it. I live there with my Girlfriend in the summer of 1973. Big swimming pool. Cost 99 dollars to move in. Utilities included.
I lived near the office and you walked upstairs and on the right was my one bed room apartment. Yes, the sliding glass door was my front door. I used a broom stick to stop someone lifting off the rails and walk in uninvited. Later, I moved into a two bedroom apartment and shared the rent with another couple. My bedroom had no window. Great for sleeping late.
I did not have a car and did not need one. Beautiful movie theater nearby. I watch a James Bond movie there. Live and let die. No one can forget that movie and that theater!
Walking to the galleria was easy and what an incredible place. Ice skating was a big hit with the locals. What a summer to remember.
I see you are really into Geography. I went to La Tech. Professional Aviation Department. My minor was Geography.
