“KAPOK TREE INN RESTAURANT”

Stationed at MacDill in the mid 70’s. The restaurant was good, but a little drive from the base. We did a lot of local pickup for dining. Best I found was Serpico’s on MacDill Avenue about a mile north of the MacDill gate.

At that time they didn’t have sit in dining, they just made to order. But the pizza, lasagna, ravioli, and other things were just out of this world. I’d get off work around 1630, drive down to Serpico’s, pick up my phone order, and get home in time to watch the violent thunder storms they have at a little after 1700 every day during season. Wholesome entertainment.

Yep... I remember those afternoon thunderstorms, too.

We have moved there probably in 1971, just after leaving Naha AFB in Okinawa. The good ole days.

The Beacon. A dive right outside the Bayshore Gate.
