Andytown, Florida

Andytown was a town located in Broward County, Florida, United States at the intersection of U.S. 27 and I-75.

When SR-84 (also known as "Alligator Alley") and US-27 were each two-lane roads, the intersection was controlled by a traffic light.

At the southeast corner of that intersection, there was a gas station with a convenience store, restaurant, bar, motel and a trailer where the Andytown pioneers (the Tsanos family of Kosta "Gus"/ Andy's nephew, his wife Litsa and daughter Sophia Tsanos) lived until 1972.

[1][2] After Poulos died in 1972, his nephew Kosta "Gus" and wife Litsa Tsanos proudly inherited Andytown and continued to work there.

[citation needed] In 1967, the Florida state government took the land for its future use in transportation projects by Eminent Domain.
