Betty Whitten is a regular at Alabama Jack’s. She clogs to the music of the Card Sound Machine Band. (Robert Lyle)

If you follow U.S. 1 to the very end of the Florida peninsula, veer onto Card Sound Road, and make your way through the mangrove swamps, you’ll find it.  A wooden shanty with a roof but no walls: an open-air bar and restaurant.  It’s the very last place on the U.S. mainland.  And it’s called Alabama Jack’s.

You can hear other stories about the “End of the Line” on our second episode, which airs Saturday, March 7 at noon and Sunday March 8 at 7 pm, on WLRN 91.3/WKWM 91.5 FM.
