TWO new features at TampaPix! July 26, 2013 |
| 57 |
When Ralph Stephens first went into the restaurant business in Oklahoma City in 1921, he set in motion a chain of events that would lead to the creation of restaurants in Missouri, Florida, Ohio, Oklahoma, and California, for the Stephens and Reid families and those who followed them. These famous restaurants, Goody-Goody and Dolores, were independent operations that shared some common roots, traditions, and menu items. To those who patronized them, these names still evoke memories of delicious food--a delicious hamburger with secret sauce, and homemade pies--and happy times. |
| 58 |
"The Goody-Goody Family Tree" is a multimedia feature that gives a history of the Stephens and Reid families and their restaurant ventures in three states. Read about the origin of the famous Goody-Goody Secret Sauce, the recipe of which remained a closely-guarded proprietary secret for all the years it was used in Tampa, and was true to the original 1925 recipe to the final day of the Tampa Goody-Goody. |
| 59 |
Also, now you can go "behind the scenes" at the downtown Tampa Goody-Goody! See a layout of the restaurant as it appeared in its final years, along with a history of how the building evolved over the years, at "Behind the Scenes at Goody-Goody, Tampa." |

The Burgerts were a family of photographers who moved to Florida from Ohio in the 1880s and established a remarkable record in various phases of the photography business, primarily in Tampa. They were six sons and one daughter-in-law of the original photographic progenitor of the family, Samuel Burgert. Three generations of Burgert photographers worked productively from around the 1860s until the 1960s and at various times took, sold or marketed supplies for hundreds of thousands of photographic images. In the process, they coincidentally doc***ented Tampa's development from a little more than a scrubby port village to a major urban center of international importance. |

In the 1940s, Ybor City's Cuscaden Park was THE place to go on a Sunday afternoon or Thursday evening to catch a baseball game between teams of the Inter-Social league. The result of one of Roosevelt's WPA projects in Tampa, Cuscaden was home field for many baseball players from Tampa who went on to the major leagues. For many West Tampa and Ybor City youths, the public pool at Cuscaden was where they first learned to swim. Boxing on Florida's west coast had its revival at the Cuscaden boxing arena in the 40s. The park was the focus of athletic social interaction during the war years, and served as a respite from the solemn news that WW2 brought to the forefront in those days. |

Armwood High School in Seffner, which opened in 1984, was named after her.

George Sheppard "Dad" Gandy was one of those fellows who laughed at the word “impossible.” He has a long list of achievements to his credit and many of those achievements represent the completion of ideas which once were branded as absurd. The original Gandy Bridge was the work of a dreamer--unquestionably. Only a dreamer of the most pronounced type could have conceived such a project and only a dreamer could have believed that it would some day be completed.

Nothing says "Tampa" like a mouth-watering Cuban sandwich |
| 143 |
Ask ten people what goes into making an exceptional Cuban Sandwich and you'll likely get ten different responses that vary in ingredients, preparation and appearance. The debate can get as hot as the bread just out of the oven--not just over the ingredients, but even on the order they're stacked, the cut and pressing. It may depend on your interpretation of "Cuban"--traditional as it was in Cuba, or how Tampa/Ybor City's rich ethnic mix caused it to evolve early on. Either way, there's not much variation in the recipe and preparation. |
| 144 |
But it is the bread that makes or breaks a Cuban sandwich; as with any building, the foundation is important. See Cuban Bread - first baked in Ybor City's "La Joven Francesca" bakery, 1896. |

Long-time restaurant worker Manuel Torres making Cuban sandwiches the old fas***oned way, 1957 From "Tampa History Magazine." |
| 149 |
Torres marinated a select pork roast overnight in a mojo of lemon juice, salt, fresh garlic, oregano and vinegar. Then he parboiled the pork with onions, celery and garlic and roasted it. A whole smoked ham was then parboiled in the same mixture. Torres trimmed extra fat from the ham and coated it in sugar. Then he melted the sugar onto the ham with a hot iron. The resulting caramelized sugar gave the ham a distinctive taste. Attracted by the irresistible aroma, salivating pa***ersby gathered around the storefront as the sugar turned into a thin amber glaze. Torres then carved the meat into thin slices: pork, ham and peppered Genoa salami. Imported Swiss cheese, sour dill pickles, mustard and Cuban bread completed the sandwich. He layered the ingredients onto the bread in the traditional order: Ham, pork, salami, cheese, pickle, and mustard spread only on the top slice of the sandwich. "It is always done that way," Torres said." |

Richard Gonzmart, president of the world-famous Columbia Restaurant, gets a fresh burst of energy as he describes the way his grandfather, a second-generation owner of the restaurant, used to make it. This sandwich isn't just a sandwich. It's his history, his legacy, a signature of his family's labor for four generations. Richard has recently decided to recreate the Cuban Sandwich of his grandfather's day. "It started with fresh-baked Cuban bread from La Segunda Central Bakery. Then a layer of ham, sweet on the edges, from a sugary rub that caramelized as it baked. Then thin-sliced pork, which bathed overnight in mojo marinade before it was roasted to savory tenderness. Then salami, oh, the salami, studded with peppercorns and sitting high so its fat could infuse the other meats. Then a slice of aged Swiss cheese that supported rounds of sour pickle. And under the lid, a single layer of yellow mustard. Press this into an inch or two of crusty, buttered warmth, and cut on the diagonal. Bite."

Did you know? The name “Tampa” comes from the Calusa Indians who lived in West Central Florida between 1500 and into the 1800’s. The Calusa (or Caloosa) called this place Tanpa, with an “N”, which translates to “sticks of fire.” Some have said that this refers to the abundance of kindling and driftwood along the Hillsborough river (sticks to make fire), but the more plausible reference is to the frequent, intense lightning storms in the area. |
| 168 |
In 1521 Juan Ponce de Leon was the first European to discover present day Tampa Bay. De Leon was allegedly slain in this area by the Calusa Indians “as a response to information they received of Spanish mistreatment of Indians (Calusa and Caribe) in Cuba”. De Leon’s body was first taken to Europe and now resides in the cathedral of St. John the Baptist in San Juan, Puerto Rico. |

Panfilio de Narvaez landed in the Tampa Bay area on Good Friday, April 1528, with the intention of starting a colony. He declared it “the best port in the world.” After being told by the natives of better riches to the north, Narvaez immediately got into an argument with a local Indian chief who in turn sliced off Narvaez’s nose and chased him out of the area. They abandoned their camp after only a week. A dozen years later, a surviving member of the expedition named Juan Ortiz was rescued by Hernando de Soto's expedition. |
| 170 |
Hernando de Soto arrived in the area on May 25, 1539, calling Tampa Bay “La Bahia Del Espiritu Santo” (the Bay of the Holy Spirit) and met with native Indians under the Charter Oak (or De Soto Oak) near present day Plant Park at the University of Tampa. A peace treaty was conducted with the local Tocobaga Indians, and a short-lived Spanish outpost was established. However, this was abandoned when it became clear that there was no gold in the area, that the local Indians were not interested in converting to Catholicism, and that they were too skilled as warriors to easily conquer. The Tampa area would be effectively ignored by its colonial owners for the next 200+ years. |
| 171 |
The name "Tanpa" first appears in the "Memoir" of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda. Fontaneda was a Spainish s***pwreck survivor who lived among the Native Americans of Florida for 17 years (1575) as a Calusa captive. He calls it "Tanpa" and describes it as an important Calusa town. While "Tanpa" is the apparent basis for the modern name "Tampa", archaeologist Jerald Milanich places the Calusa village of Tanpa at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor, the original "Bay of Tanpa". A later Spanish expedition failed to notice Charlotte Harbor while sailing north along the west coast of Florida and a***umed that today's Tampa Bay was the bay that they had sought. Thus, the name was accidentally transferred north. |

Hillsborough County |
| 183 |
Hillsborough County was named for Wills Hill (1718 – 1793), the 1st Marquess of Downs***re, known as the Viscount Hillsborough from 1742 to 1751 and as the Earl of Hillsborough from 1751 to 1789. He was a British politician of the Georgian era. Best known in the United States as the Earl of Hillsborough, he served as Secretary of State for the Colonies in 1768 to 1772, a critical period leading toward the American Revolution. |
| 184 |
Florida's Hillsborough county was created on January 25, 1834 from Alachua and Monroe counties. Its boundaries of 1834 included the present-day counties of Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota. |

Recognize this das***ng young man? After the outbreak of the Cuban Revolution in 1895, Tampa served as the crossroads for journalists en route to the Caribbean to cover the brutality. This 21-year-old requested to cover the war, in his words, "to seek professional experience at the seat of a war." His Dec 14, 1895 article describing the revolution, datelined "Tampa," appeared in London's "Daily Graphic." Written by the young journalist pictured here, a lieutenant in the Queen's Fourth Hussars, none other than THE Winston Churchill. |

Images from a stunning time-lapse video t**led "City Lights" shot by Nicole Abbett and edited by Nicole Abbett and Sean Birdsell Includes rare footage of the Ca*** St. railroad bridge lowering and raising. |
| 344 |
On August 10, 2012, Chicago lighting artist Tracey Dear lit up five Tampa bridges in a project t**led Agua Luces. Backed by Mayor Bob Buckorn, Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas, and the Lights On Tampa Committee, this will be a permanent fixture to the City of Tampa. When the installation is complete, nine bridges will be lit in total. The Platt Street Bridge, the Brorein Street Bridge, the Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority overpa***, the Kennedy Boulevard Bridge, and the CSX Railroad Bridge were all illuminated in a ceremony on August 10, 2012. Whether you are on land, in the water, or in the sky, the view is impeccable. Each bridge boasts it own unique design and with the reflection of the water, the result is a gorgeous display of lights. To capture the beauty of the bridges Nicole Abbett created a time lapse over the course of several days/nights. |

TAMPA CHANGING! |
| 347 |
Tampa has come a long way in 100 years, and Tampa Native Bryan Weinstein has a creative and interesting method of sharing this fact. Bryan has created a website using "Re-photography." |
| 348 |
On his site, Bryan has exhibited various sights of Tampa. Each location has two photographs, a historical photograph, taken up to one hundred years ago, and the re-photograph, taken within the last couple of years. |
| 349 |
Bryan uses a slideshow blend effect so that the old photo morphs into the recent photo. He has so exactly captured the scenes from the same vantage point, it's like instant time travel. Bryan brings to mind how much Tampa has changed and how much has stayed the same. Visit Bryan's site at TampaChanging. Bryan seeks a***istance by way of support and re-photography of your own to display on his site! |
