LEMMON DROPS: European woman says it’s a ‘privilege’ to operate a business in Vero Six bite-size Lemmon Drops to nibble on while waiting for the “Mockingjay, Part 2” hype to subside:
• Miller’s Neighborhood Market opened in 2007 at the high-
traffic intersection of U.S. 1 and 17th Street in Vero Beach. A few months ago, Gus Miller decided to let someone else lease the gas station / convenience store. It’s now being operated by Banana Racing International Corp. The corporation truly is international. Marlen Hurter, who runs the company, lives in Switzerland. She is a frequent visitor to Vero Beach. While this is the first business in the United States for Marlen (pronounced like “Marlene”), this isn’t her first rodeo, as they say. While an accounting and tax office is her main business, she is involved in several other ventures in Switzerland. For example, she owns a Ford dealership and runs an engineering company.
She loves Vero Beach and decided she wanted to own a business here. “It is all remote-controlled from Switzerland, but it works,” she said. “We are in constant contact across the ocean and always informed about development and needs to run this station.” Shawn Schneider is the store’s onsite manager. He has been with the Russ Lemmon store ever since Miller opened it in ’07. There are a lot of changes being made inside the convenience store, and everything should be in place by January. Marlen called it a “privilege” to operate a business in Vero Beach. So, what’s the story behind the strange name of the corporation? Banana Racing has been involved in drag-racing in Europe for several years. One of the members is Gary Walko, who lives in Vero Beach. He has a BMW “banana” drag-racing car. He

Beach also designed Banana Racing International’s humorous logo. After 15 years of leasing, the owner of the Kountry Kitchen decided to buy the building when it went on the market. The deal was finalized earlier this month. Mark Santangelo, 54, is the hands-on owner of the iconic restaurant on Old Dixie Highway. So, as far as he is concerned, what’s the difference between leasing and owning? “It means I’ll be flipping eggs for a long time,” he said. On 26th Street, just west of 66th Avenue, is a sign to let people know that “Fire Station #14” is coming. It’s tucked between a pair of entrances to Trillium. (Thanks to Phil Weiler for emailing a photo.) What kind of “demands” are in the contracts of performers in the Masters of Music series at the Emerson Center? George Winston, the Grammy Award-winning pianist scheduled to appear on Nov. 20, asked for something rather unusual. “Mr. Winston is apparently an extreme night owl because

one of his requirements is that he needs to rehearse on the performance piano sometime between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. on the night before the concert,” said Marty Paris, one of the producers of the Masters of Music series. Melbourne radio station 99.3 FM started playing continuous Christmas music during the first week in November. As I posted on Twitter, “I’ll listen (because I like Christmas music), but I’d just as soon wait 3 weeks.” Kudos to 97.1 FM (“The Ocean”) for sticking with tradition. The station is waiting until the day after Thanksgiving to play its first Christmas song, according to Hamp Elliott. Even then, it’ll be only a sprinkling of holiday songs. It won’t make the switch to continuous Christmas music until Dec. 11. A quick “like mother, like daughter” tale: Sebastian resident Kim Massung was born on Nov. 25. Same with her daughter, Elaine. Kim got married on Nov. 25. You guessed it … same with Elaine.

Top 500 countdown Russ Lemmon, who loves music (and lists), spent a lot of time putting together his Top 500 favorite songs of all-time. For the next few years, Lemmon Lines will be counting ‘em down. 329. “You’re My Best Friend” (1976) Queen Memory: I instantly associate this song with my freshman year in college. 328. “What Have I Done to Deserve This?” (1987) Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield Memory: A perfect pairing for this song. Great chemistry. 327. “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” (1998) Aerosmith Memory: If I would have heard this song one more time, it might not have made the Top 500. All the songs thus far in the countdown can be found on LemmonLines.com.
