On a bright and beautiful Saturday morning, the Sun-N-Fun Vettes group met at Publix in Land O Lakes.  After a few minutes of conversation and a Driver's meeting, the group headed up US41 for a 45 minute, picturesque back roads cruise.

​

We arrived at Coney Island Drive Inn about 11:00  We enjoyed lots of delicious hotdogs and of course, lots of great conversations.

 

This is a really popular place.​​  The place opened July 7th 1960 – Darrell and Gertrude Todd and Family, from Brooksville, bought and opened this place in an old boat manufacturing building.  And in 1961 Elvis Presley was filming a movie in Inverness, Florida and legend has it he ventured down to Brooksville for one of the Famous Coney Island Drive Inn Footlongs. Guy Fieri also visited Coney Island Drive-Inn in Brooksville, Florida, for his show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" and highlighted its Coney dog.
