Quote:Oh my goodness. This brought back memories of the toll booths on, if I remember correctly, the old Fuller Warren Bridge. My dad lived on the west side of town and on the weekends he had us we went to the beach and I remember going over a bridge with toll booths. I also remember when they were taken down and the City rejoiced. At least the people did.

Okay, I found a page on the <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.jaxhistory.org/portfolio-items/toll-booths/'>Jacksonville Historical Society</a> website with pictures circa 1954. Man, all we wanted to do was get to the beach and 95 going over the bridge was backed up thanks to those darn things.

<a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/news/2012/06/18/buckman-toll-lanes-first-in-202.html#i1'>This</a> is a picture of the booths being taken down in '89.

Yep. That was the bridge. It still gets backed up even without the toll booths.
