One minor correction, under 1952: Publix's Dale Mabry Shopping Center was in the 1300 South block of Dale Mabry -- the second Publix at that location (which looked just like this one) was the supermarket of my youth. There's now a third Publix there, built new in the late '90s; the "shopping center" outbuildings were all torn down to make room for the new one.Groceteria wrote:I've posted a Tampa Bay area history timeline for your amusement:

It can obviously be improved (and will). It's currently a little Pinellas County-centric, because I had the St. Pete newspaper archives as a major source. There's also very little pre-1950. Suggestions welcome. An overview and more photos are coming soon.
Here's a photo, dated December 21, 1954 of the first Publix at that location. (Sorry about the giant watermark.)
