Features
- The Full Moon Saloon (aka, the “Full Spoon”…and not due to the food) opened in 1977 on South Street between Simonton and Duval Streets (it’s a parking lot now). During it’s 16-year run, it hosted many notable characters including Jimmy Buffett (who found inspiration for many of his classic songs there including “He Went to Paris”), Hunter S. Thompson (who had a house here) and his often-visiting pal Bill Murray. Owners Vic Latham and Sid Snelgrove made sure the kitchen stayed open until 3 AM. The Full Moon was always busy after midnight while house band “Bill Blue and the Nervous Guys” entertained. Around 1986, it was moved up Simonton to where Camille’s is now, until it’s “Final Call” in July 1993. Susie Whalton-Latham, 5th-generation Conch and Vic’s wife, designed the original Full Moon logo you will proudly wear on this t-shirt.
