Been Here

I remember visiting this place as a young sailor aboard the USS Grand Canyon when we made stops in Pensacola. I remember a Japanese/American lady named Kiyoko who tended bar there and I remember those Barber chairs he had as bar stools.

Lots of memories

My favorite hang out 1963 and 64. Met my first wife there (Frankie) and became friends with the Owner and employees. As a sailor stationed on the USS Lexington, there were three places to go. Trader John's, the USO, and Pensacola beech. My marriage ended after three years, but the memories of Trader John's will stay with me to my last breath.

As I read of the closing of my old hang out, I could not help but feel a loss.

Thanks for the memories
