Lakeland – Southgate Shopping Center

Here Swampy finds the Southgate sign at the Southgate Shopping Center on US98 in Lakeland.

Click here to learn a lot more about the sign and the shopping center from the Lakeland Ledger.

Below is a photo of shops inside and below that is a wide view of the arch. There were many arches around Florida at one time. It is believed this is the last one. Please share if you know of another.

The arch is forever imprinted on celluloid for the film ‘Edward Sissorhands’. If you haven’t seen the film, look for the arch and many locations in the Tampa Bay area.

Hollywood – Amazing New Niagra Massage Chair! – Swampy’s Florida Tuesday Ads from 70 years ago.

by SwampysFlorida on April 4, 2010 at 6:00 am
Posted In: Florida Advertising, Swampy's Collectibles

The NEW Niagara Massage chairs! Today these chairs are nearly the norm and certainly lesser priced, percentage-wise, than 70 years ago.
Back then it wasn’t unusual to have a furniture store along our beaches. More folks lived there in traditional homes then the cubicle-style found today in condominiums.
As those from Hollywood know, the Hollywood circle was THEE place to be until recent decades. Even now, the circle is prominent, just more grudgy than ever and a dicey walk around at times.

This ad is from 1953 that was in an event guide for Broward County that is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
