Author    Post   MIfan F L I N T O I D Can anyone remember the name of the pizza restaurant that was on the northwest corner of Pierson and Clio Roads in the late '60s? It was next to or near the Sav-Mor Discount Drugs - in the area that later became Michael Lynn Lighting. Did it have the word "buoy" in it's name? Can you also tell me the year of the tanker explosion that happened at that corner? I believe it was '67-'70 ish? KanRock Tire Store burned... was that whole block of stores destroyed? Thanks for any help you can offer. I've been trying to pull this info from my memory for a couple of weeks.

Sun Dec 18, 2011 12:27 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D I think Venice was South of Pierson on Clio. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos.

Main number is 810-232-7111. Or visit their website and "Ask a Librarian." http://www.fpl.info/ FPL has a collection of old Polk City Directories that would show the names of businesses along that corridor at specified time.

Plus you had the PX barbeque = best ribs in town and the Golden Point burger joint next to the PX on the northeast corner of Clio and Pierson. The Point had fantastic pineapple shakes. Golden Nugget Saloon was in the Pierson Road block with Michael Lynn Galleries and a furniture store on the west end of the block. _________________ Been there....done that.
