Not unusual of course for an artist to be a lefty, but I wouldn’t make too much of her wearing an LBJ button…..

Spent quite a bit of allowance in that store.Anyone remember Turtle’s Music Store? Maybe they were just local to the Tampa area
Instead of gift certificates, they had metal coins that looked like a record with the dollar amount stamped on them. As a kid, those coins were so cool.

Western auto, still have a 22 rifle from there. It's a fantastic little pee shooter.
Anyone remember Scotty's hardware? It was Lowes and home Depot before they existed.

It was where that whole development on University/Newberry Rd is with Gator Dockside now, correct?Scotty's had better "experts" than HD and Lowes.
One off Newberry road, and the one we used to go to was offer 441 before it really became 13th street.It was where that whole development on University/Newberry Rd is with Gator Dockside now, correct?
Much better. Everyone that worked there was older and a retired carpenter, construction worker, contractor, etc. Everyone in there knew there stuff. I would go with my dad as a little boy to get lumber, tools, etc. My dad did everything - rebuild engines, remodel houses, even built a few, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, insulation. You name it, he did it all himself, usually with me begrudgingly lending a hand.Scotty's had better "experts" than HD and Lowes.

I'm nowhere near as capable as he was but I can do most things and am knowledgeable enough to know what right looks like. I appreciate all the sweaty saturday afternoons i spent helping him with whatever home or auto project we were doing a lot more now that I see the prices clowns want to charge for substandard work. 80% of the time i end up doing it myself b/c i can and dont want to spend the money to pay someone to do it half assed.

Anyone remember a store called Zaires? It was sort of like a Kmart. My mom would take us in there occasionally.
And who can forget the grocery store Piggly wiggly. They still have some around though not many anymore. But would you believe there also used to be a Hoggly Woggly? Pretty sure the last one of those closed decades ago but they existed.
sure is. When we go over to st Joe for a little peace and quiet we often stay at windmark beach and shop at the Piggly, or that dollar general grocery store.I do know there is still a Piggly Wiggly in Appalachicola and Port St Joe.
