I really don't know much about this place other than it's former location. It sat on the northeast corner of 4 Corners (where the Gulf gas station sits in the photo on another post). I try to give a little history into the time I've spent in Naples. Not the time I wasn't because to me these days you don't know what has been tacked on to make the story interesting. I tend to do this with say an example, Elvis @ Cambier Park but by now you've probably figured I'm a little full of myself. The history of Naples has been kinda beat to death. I find how many cable customers there were in 1968 much more interesting than who had the 1st house on the beach. If you want a good Naples history lesson just follow the parade of backhoes & dump trucks to their next casualty.
