WEEK 24 – Hernando Captain D’s
For our final shot of the place, here’s the (vacant) view from South Central Drive, the small cross street the restaurant built off of (as opposed to opening directly onto McIngvale).
As the monument sign indicates, Captain D’s is still open south of here in Senatobia, in a nearly-identical building, right up to the poor paint job, no less. Closer to home, there are three other locations in DeSoto County – in Southaven, Horn Lake, and Olive Branch – but I’m assuming those are owned by a different franchisee, hence why the Hernando franchisee opted to promote the Senatobia location instead.
Also, it’s not visible here, but when this building was first abandoned, there were a couple of store-bought “For Sale By Owner” signs sitting out in front of the property, which I thought was really hilarious (and not a common sight, by any means). You can see that in this street view capture.
Currently, the former Hernando Captain D’s still sits vacant. Additionally, since the time of these photos, all of the green and blue paint colors have been repainted with white. However, the Captain D’s signage itself remains completely intact, both on the building and the roadside sign, which is kind of surreal. Between that and the all-white color, it really does look almost like a ghost building these days!
It could be a good site for a new fast food joint, but that depends on whether the location is desirable and the building is habitable. As usual, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
NEXT WEEK – more from the Columbus Kmart…

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
