Taste of Dixie: 1976 Chevrolet Scottsdale 10

from Greg Phillips in the Florida panhandle:
Dateline:
Dixie Diner in Cross City, Florida.
Escape from Apalachicola found us passing thru Cross City, Fl at breakfast time. Nice old truck with a shiny new paint job.
Cross City, Florida and crosses festooning the restaurant walls. I didn't bother looking to see if Ron Regan, Jr has ever left a signed head shot of himself there.
Route 98 is Florida's version of America's Route 66. Working class Southerners bound for Florida vacations found Motor Court styled accomodations at strategic points along U.S. Highway 98. The Taste of Dixie Diner is just a biscuit's throw from the office and pool of one such place. Not many left these days and a revival of the genre may not be in the cards.
