On this episode of Florida Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places we begin with an abandoned restaurant in Sumter County before exploring the forgotten ghost town of Center Hill. Then down a very scenic dirt road to Lake County where we find a very couple of unique roadside gems in the town of Moscotte! There is much ahead.

  1. I stuck to the end. Loved the gas station too. Hope you take a mace spray with you on these. You never know when you'll happen upon some unbalanced homeless man or rabid animal. Please be careful!

  2. Truly enjoy your traveling to these small off the beaten path places…all of which have their own unique stories and history. Unfortunately you couldn't get into the cemetery to show some of the early inhabitants of the area..but what a fantastic day to share with you. Thank you so much for doing what you do.😇🇺🇸👍🌞

  3. That place with the Phillips 66 sign in Mascotte is or was an antique store. Don’t know if that part is still open or not. The lady that owned it was opened once in a blue moon. I got to go into it once. Had some cool stuff in there. The two buildings next to used to be a store called Sweet Nothings which was a rustic/country nic nac shop that recently closed and moved to Tennessee. I used to go there a lot so that’s why I know about the place. Just in case you want to know the town is pronounced “mascot”.

  5. Thanks Jay!! For those of us that are not as mobile as we would like to be and have a fond recollection of old Florida, you make it possible to re-live some of the old memories.

  7. I was raised across from Virginia's Western Wear was a clothing store and in the early 60's The Red Top Grocery. The church beside it was a bar called The Country Tavern, very lively with fights on weekends.

  8. I love love when you do these videos! A fun fact… when Nestle bought our old swimming hole in Crystal Springs, a lot of our wells went dry in Zephyrhills because they pumped so much water from the spring to make Zephyrhills water. Many of us had to have our wells go deeper.

  9. Jay, love it when you go exploring the old back roads and the abandoned places! It’s so cool to document these places before they get bulldozed and razed to the ground. So much history in these old places, glad you’re doing your part to be sure they’re not forgotten. 👍
    Best of luck and continued Safe Travels!
