Taco Bell is/was on the corner of Lee Hwy and Gallows

Same side of Gallows as the drive in, on the other side of Lee Hwy.

It was the old JitBox store.

Can't find any info on when it changed. I do remember going to that Taco Bell in HS when I drove, so it changed before '83. The Drive In closed in '84.
