<tr> <td valign="TOP" height="149" width="1049"><div> Hi Dan, I lived in Fat City in 1975,</div> <div>  I was only 15 years old but I had some of the greatest times of my life,I lived behind the <b>Playboy Club</b> at the <b>Villa de Orleans apartments</b> with my Mom & step father, I worked at a restaurant & bar called <b>Gullivers</b> in the day, And at night I worked at <b>Dillingers</b> across the street from the <b>Huki Lau,</b> It later became the <b>Melting Pot</b>, Where I met a lot great musicians, Like Charlie Cuccia of T.Q. & the Topcats,I rodied for them in my spare time to get extra money & drugs, I got into many of the local bars like <b>Que Pasa, Kalebs, Vito�s Speakeasy, The Show Boat Lounge</b>, with a fake I.D., I moved back to St. Augustine Fl. In 1977 where I still Live & work, but I will never forget the fabulous times I had in Fat City,</div> <div>  Thank�s for bringing back those wonderful memories. Sincerely, Patrick A.
