Photos Of Yesterday In Plant City

Anyone that would like to contribute a story of the "Good Old Days" in Plant City, or help write an article for this newsletter, you would be welcomed with open arms.

If you have a photo that you would like to share on this newsletter, send it to pcfmarket@gmail.com
The photos below were in my mother's home. The one on the left is from a bulletin of the First Baptist Church of Plant City, dated Jan. 22, 1956. The second photo is of an old fellow from Colorado who was traveling the country in his covered wagon. He spent the night and camped on my grandmothers land that is just south of the Flea Market on S.R. 39 (Circa 1949/1952) On his wagon is a sign "Here Comes Orville"

FOOD TRIVIA

It's is hard to believe that almost 1/3 of all the food in our retail supply chain and refrigerator was thrown away.
Picture

Picture
In 1926, when a Los Angeles restaurant owner with the all-American name of Bob Cobb was looking for a way to use up leftovers, he threw together some avocado, celery, tomato, chives, watercress, hard-boiled eggs, chicken, bacon, and Roquefort cheese, and named it after himself: Cobb salad.

Music Trivia

Picture
Crooner Engelbert Humperdinck was born Arnold George Dorsey. He borrowed his stage name from a German composer who died in 1921. Weirdly, Arnold Dorsey sounds much cooler.

88 Years Ago  On April 29, 1927
Construction of Spirit of St Louis is completed.
The Ryan Airlines Corporation of San Diego, California built the plane for $6,000. This excluded the price of the engine. The plane was called a flying gasoline tank. It was almost twenty-eight feet long and had a forty-six foot wing span that was full of fuel.

62 Years Ago  On April 29, 1953
The first U.S. experimental 3D-TV broadcast showed an episode of Space Patrol on Los Angeles ABC affiliate KECA-TV.
Space Patrol was a science fiction series that was originally aimed at the teen age and under audiences of the early 1950s via television, radio, and comic books. However, it soon developed a sizable adult audience such that by 1954, the program consistently ranked in the top 10 shows broadcast on a Saturday.
Just think, 3D TV has only become popular recently 60 years later.

This was another sad day for America
11 Years Ago  On April 29
, 2004
Oldsmobile builds its last car
ending 107 years of production.

It was the end of the road for the oldest automotive brand name in the United States. Oldsmobile, was the brand that pioneered chrome-plated trim and gave drivers the Eighty Eight series, the front-wheel-drive Toronado and the Cutlass.
Oldsmobiles were first manufactured by the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in Lansing, Michigan, a company founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1897. In 1901, Olds introduced the Curved Dash Olds which sold 425 cars, becoming the first high-volume car of the day. Olds became, for a few years, the top selling car company in the United States. Ransom Olds left the company in financial difficulties and formed REO Motor Car Company. The last Curved Dash Olds was made in 1907, and in 1908, General Motors purchased the company. Of the more than 35 million Oldsmobile's built during the nameplate's existence, more than 14 million were built in Lansing.
I focused mostly on the older cars, as I found them much more interesting.

In 1955 Oldsmobile had a banner sales year.
Their main assembly plant rolled out 110 cars per hour,
in the 1954/55 year. or 1 car every 33 seconds.

My Most Favorite Is The 1958 Oldsmobile Below
Read the story at the bottom to find out why ! !

Picture
One night in 1960 while driving around town in my Dad's 1953 Buick, I pulled into The Plant City Drive-In Restaurant and saw this Super, Sweet, Nice, 1958 Oldsmobile. I thought to myself "WOW, What A Car" To my surprise, inside driving this great big 4,800  pound beautiful car was a 96 pound "Super, Sweet, Nice,  Beautiful Girl"  Yes that girl was Peggy Ann Pless of Antioch (My Bride To Be)  As Paul Harvey might say "Now You Should Know The Rest Of The Story"

This is for the week of April 26th thru May 2nd

All Signs
This week is relatively mellow except for some tension that starts to build on Friday before the Full Moon in Scorpio on Sunday. Four signs are called Fixed Signs (they can't have kids). They are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. When the Full Moon occurs in a Fixed Sign, it has a greater depth, energy and intensity. This means everyone will feel the Full Moon next weekend. (Count on it.) Everything will have an exaggerated quality - both good and bad. Aside from that, it's an easy-going week, for which we can rejoice. And by the time this column is published, some cities will rejoice the first round of the NHL playoffs. Others will not. Someone once said, "The most difficult part of getting to the top of the ladder is getting through the crowd at the bottom." Ain't it the truth?
