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.

    Friendly Way Food Stores – DeLand, FL – August 13, 2017

    Byretroscrod August 17, 2017

    Corner of South Florida Ave and Beresford Ave I’d forgotten about Friendly Way stores, and as best I can tell this may be the only one left. I’m pretty sure the convenience store on New York Ave just East of Blue Lake Ave, near where I grew up, was a Friendly Way as well, but…

    The Other Place – Ormond Beach, FL

    Byretroscrod July 28, 2017

    I stopped into The Other Place, or rather the place formerly known as The Other Place, in July 2017 to snap a few pics before some greedy developer snags up this prime slice of real estate (now that the Hard Rock is in town I’m sure there’s going to be a development buzz….).  I vaguely…

    Sweet Shop – Florida State University – Tallahassee, FL – June 22, 2017

    Byretroscrod June 11, 2017

    It has probably been 25 years since I stepped foot into the Sweet Shop across from the FSU campus, and while a lot has changed at FSU over those years there’s a lot of the 96 year old Sweet Shop that is still the same.  I was disappointed to see that the juke box which…

    NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Express – NY Penn to Metropark – Friday, May 19, 2017

    Byretroscrod May 24, 2017

    I took a few snaps on the Purple Picture Taker on my recent trip out of NYC to Iselin, NJ via NJ Transit’s Northeast Corridor line.   You can definitely tell a) the train was moving when these were taken, and b) the windows need a good cleaning.  These were taken from the west side…

    Jubilee Orchards – Tallahassee, FL – Sunday May 7, 2017

    Byretroscrod May 7, 2017

    We took a short (about 10 mile) drive up Miccosukee Road this afternoon to a you-pick-em blue berry orchard: Jubilee Orchards.  It was a nice way to spend a not too warm spring Sunday, except of course for the gnats… But in any case we would highly recommend heading out there, but you’d better hurry,…

    Mannheim Germany – Patton’s Accident Site

    Byretroscrod February 21, 2017

    “Never let the enemy pick the battle site.” I saw the original “Patton” on a double VHS when I was a kid and loved it.   I call the original because there actually was a made-for-TV sequel made in the 80’s about Patton’s last days,  in which we watch George C.  Scott reprise his role…
