Tampa in time

Woman Shopper In A Tampa Grocery Story by Robertson Fresh Photography, Digital Collections, Tampa Library, University of South Florida, https://digital.lib.usf.edu/?r5.15958

I have been digging deep into the history of my 1949 house, which invariably means learning all about everything around it, that is, Tampa. Thankfully, I work at a library with digitized pictures and historical documentation to keep me busy for a long time. I can’t tell you exactly why I love this picture. It could be the cans of Heinz Macaroni above the Heinz Spaghetti…also canned.

It could be the largest cans, also of the healthiest seeming products, that is, turnip greens and the like, are perched precariously at the tippy top. Whatever it is, I think it is important to share this wonderful photo of a lady shopper.
