They are currently renovating the Jail, so there are spots that are works in progress, but the location is a historical land mark. It is a reportedly (ok, It IS) a HAUNTED location! We were actually able to do an over night, which gave us the ability to actually investigate the location thoroughly. I personally had the experience of the "presence" of a guard walking toward me while I was in their walk way at the Solitary Confinement area. We experienced phantom voices, voices on the ovulous, and shapes appearing and interacting on the FLIR camera. Overall it was a really fun investigation. I look forward to future events.

Kinney Tunnel) in Fort Lauderdale https://www.yelp.com/biz/henry-e-kinney-tunnel-fort-lauderdale?hrid=fXumVP8axkh_tcxVRR4Fww and the Port Miami Tunnel (aka State Road 887) that joines the MacArthur Causeway with PortMiami https://www.yelp.com/biz/port-of-miami-tunnel-downtown-miami. I've been to the former, I have not been to the latter, but I'm passing through Gainesville and now I need to visit the third publicly accessible tunnel in the state. The Norman Hall Tunnel is also known as the 13th Street Tunnel. It connects the two halves of the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and was opened to the public in 1957. It is not open to vehicles, but rather pedestrians and bicycles. It's pretty well covered in graffiti from end to end. I found parking nearby. Probably not legal but I was only here long enough to check out the tunnel and then time to move along. [Review 19657 overall - 1679 in Florida - 629 of 2023.]

(Kidding! Please don't actually do that.) I pulled off for a quick break and was pleasantly surprised by how clean and modern everything looked. The bathrooms were tidy, the snack selection was solid, and grabbing that Monster was almost too easy. The fact that the vending machines are run by someone who's blind really stood out to me. It's not something you see every day, and it honestly put a smile on my face to see them running such a smooth operation. In the grand scheme of things, it's still a rest area, not a five-star resort. But it offered exactly what I needed at that moment--clean facilities, a decent energy boost, and a sense that someone actually cared about keeping the place welcoming. If you're rolling along I-10 and need to stop, this one's definitely worth a few minutes of your time.

On I-10, west of I-75 by a bit, this was a great stop. They do have a sign that indicates "three hour parking" so you can't overnight here. There is the "picnic area loop" around the back where you can find a nice shady spot for a nap and be away from the traffic noises. Plenty of space! The restrooms are clean and there is an attendant here so I was not at all concerned about security. Just remember to slow down as you're entering the parking area.
