Naw that's where Mandinas is now. Further up the road. This is by Megumi next to Fifth District Bank.

Sorry Baw, where Mandinas is now was Hoot's Daiquiris and Marley's. Shooters was in the corner of the shopping center you speak of where grapevine was and Megumi. I"m 44 and from the NS, those were my haunts in 1990 or so LOL.

RACE TRAC GAS STATION UPDATE: The Tuesday night meeting was very well attended and the Race Trac attorney presented arguments for the variances. The sale is pending decision on variances. What it comes down to: Race Trac does not agree with Mandeville's regulations and wants them waived. Multiple requests: lighting, 3 ft fill, impervious concrete covering, height of canopy, LED lighting, electronic sign, required buffer, etc. Race Trac can probably scale down their requests on most EXCEPT: removal of 30+trees, including several Live Oaks large enough to qualify for Live Oak Society. Mandeville usually takes a hard line on tree removal-so there is hope. The property has the proper zoning for a gas station, so it all comes down to whether or not the variances will be granted. Sign the petition, write your councilman and email:
lspranley@cityofmandeville.com asking that the Committee stick to the Mandeville requirements and NOT grant the variances. Vote to be taken on 8/22.

Damn you're right. I used to run around those places too in the early-mid 90s but spaced on the Shooters location. So that would be where the Dollar General store is? Hard for me to place for some reason. Maybe because was so long ago or was drunk.
