Easter Buster Brown shoes at Snyder’s in Lakeland! – Swampy’s Florida Ads from today, 1958.
Snyder’s Shioes used to be in the heart of Downtown Lakeland. This was in the 1950s through ’70s when shopping was done in downtowns and families were intact to shop, have a meal and visit with each other all with a fine stroll among neighbors and friends. We’ve decided to not do that anymore and today Downtown Lakeland is full of loud sports bars and a lot of folks who don’t know each other.
There are still a few nice places to visit in Downtown Lakeland. The number has dropped to a point that updating my 11 year old ‘Swampy’s Florida: Lakeland’ has become very difficult with so few places to recommend.
This advertisement is from the March 28th, 1958 edition of the Lakeland Ledger.
