I remember my parents and I in the mid 70s drove from the Tampa/St Pete area of FL to Pensacola. We stopped half way and spent the night and the motel that we stayed in (I'm pretty sure it was a motel, not a hotel) had one. I was curious so my parents popped a quarter in. I think I was about 5 or 6, so I thought it was cool. I think I've seen them one or two other times, maybe. We made the drive from Pensacola to the Tampa/St Pete area many times in the 70s. I'm guessing those trips are probably where I saw them if I did indeed see them more than once.
