If you live in Gulfport, that puts you right next to Pasadena. I'll give you a little history. In 1968-69 I was going through St. Petersburg JC and worked part-time at a fast food restaurant called 'Wagon Ho' on Pasadena Blvd on the left side headed toward St. Pete Beach.

It was unique in that they tried to combine Arby's roast beef and Burger King Char-broil burders. Unfortunately for them the chain went out of business after just a couple of years. They had maybe a dozen locations in south. I felt sorry for the couple who owned our unit since they had so much money invested.

It looked like this, and we all wore western shirts and cowboy hats and had to say 'Howdy Partner - may I take your order', maybe that's why they went out of business.
