The building, its stone facade charred, sat empty for years. Eventually it was rebuilt and in 2000 opened as the Hoda Center, one of Gainesville's two Islamic centers."


I guess you could still go there and hang out.

I'll be 57 this year.

I have been to the Gators from 1973 to 1999. Had my bachelor's party there in 1983.Later in the 80's they moved the date back one week on my anniversary date. I got away with it for years but with so many Nationals now ,I have been cutting that one off the list. But I loved it.

In the early 90's we started using a motorhome and staying at the track, so that was the end of the Brown Derby.
