It was quite a large restaurant, and I was not aware of it......

At least 50 years ago (mid '60's) there was a restaurant called
"The Kapok Tree" in the Tampa/St Pete area.

The bldg was built around the tree and was a tropical theme.

The customers were protected inside the bldg and the animals
were outside but still inside a fenced in area.

Understand it went bankrupt 15-20 years ago but it is still around
awaiting someone to bring it back.

Hope somebody does, it was a neat place.

Just found this.
