Just trying to make your long drive more fun. Have a Merry Christmas and wonderful winter in FL.
Not trying to go OT but:
I have diverted/hijacked many a north/south trip just so we would pass by MaryJo's. I have also ordered many times from them, even before they had an official online shop.
Just don't go in expecting a LQS atmosphere. The place is stuck in the 1960's (linoleum, panelling,etc.). Very clean but a dump. But that's why they can charge the prices they do. It's an experience.
