What WAS Kiwi
 

Sunday, Amity and I noticed a new Establishment on 27/441 just south of route 42. The name was Kiwi and there were a number of cars in the lot.
Today, it is a burned ruins. It is gone, only four badly charred and damaged cinder block walls.

There was nothing in the paper. Any idea what Kiwi was.

What ever it was it must have been hot.

Sorry I just couldn't resist.

There was nothing in the paper and your surprized.I think Kiwi was a convienence store.

I have tried using sunbiz.org to find out exactly what Kiwi was in business for and the closes thing I can come up with is an internet cafe. But here is the interesting thing happening in the last few months on 441. In Ocala there is a business called Slots of Cash for Charity and in Belleview Cyber Cafe, both located on 441 and both are doing video poker. I am guessing by the number of cars in the lot the other day at Kiwi that they very well could have been a video poker business. Of course all profits go to charity. I don't know this to be fact, but pure speculation.

The building you referred to was indeed a video casino, remember Coconuts? This was run by the same people who were thrown out of Coconuts, they did a very nice job with that old building, in fact, I was there on Friday night, and was startled out of my whatever when I saw it had burned, found out it burned at 1:59 AM on Tuesday of this week

Kiwi on 441 north of TV was a video poker parlor.
