The description says Shoney's but the restaurant is now Jan's Beach House Grill. The disk is in the grass between the service road and Eastern Boulevard. I stepped in the hole as I looked for it. The disk is a bit lower than the level of the ground. After I found it, I noticed paint on the street indicating the disk designation and location. As long as it stays, it will make finding this one easier.

The site is on East Boulevard (U.S. Hwy 231) on the service road on the west side. It is between East Shirley Lane and Monticello Drive.

The description from the datasheet reads:
