PlacesGoneBy[e] was hacked in January 2024 and we have been recovering from backups since then. Most of the site is back online, although we're finding some pictures and posts do not match, so we're having to go post-by-post and in some cases recreate the post/picture links. Please bear with us as we move forward.

    The Ritz Hotel – Clearwater Beach, FL

    Byretroscrod July 22, 2018

    Back in the 1970’s my family would from time to time spend a week or so in Clearwater Beach, FL, and we would stay at the interstingly named Ritz Hotel.  Usually a lodging establishment with the name of “The Ritz” would invoke images of a grand resort, but in this case it was more of…

    The Warehouse – Tallahassee, FL

    Byretroscrod June 4, 2018

    News broke last week that The Warehouse, a local watering hole near FSU, was closing (or is it “being kicked out”) to make way for yet more so-called “student housing”. Based on the obscene amount of new “student housing” that has already claimed entire neighborhoods around campus it makes you start to wonder just how…

    Publix Scales – Background

    Following up on this post about my local neighborhood Publix’s scale, we see at TampaBay.com the history of said scales, and learn that only Publix’s in Florida have them.  Who knew?

    Little House in the Woods, Tallahassee Style

    Byretroscrod May 3, 2018

    Near one of the dead ends of East Call Street in Tallahassee there’s a nice, small, old-school-type house for sale.  And in the back there is a dilapidated garden shed right out of a nice grind-house horror film!  You can tell there was probably a very impressive garden area around it, about 70 years ago. …

    McDonald’s Lot – Magnolia Ave – Tallahassee, FL

    Byretroscrod May 2, 2018

    For years there was a McDonald’s/Circle K combo on Magnolia Ave in Tallahassee.  Then one day it was gone.  A new McDs had sprung up down the block (where an old forested lot used to be), and there are enough CircleKs around town that no one even noticed that missing.  Now they’ve built what appears…
