Southgate Shopping Center ... the Publix grocery has been demolished... .. the stately palm are also gone... .. keeping a photographic record .. called the home office.. .. no response other than, " well, I'm sure they will put some palms back" .. not a happy camper ! ^ ^^ ^ ^^ ^ ^^ ^ ^^ ^ ^^ ^ Monday - March 9.2009 At 4:35pm DST, received this message from the 'Property Manager': "... in response to your question regarding the Palms that have been removed from the property. Yes, the Palms were removed because of construction, one of them was damaged from the equipment and the others were starting to show signs of stress. Once construction is completed we will be planting new trees in their place. New plant life will be planted in the islands and on the backside of the property..." .. still watching... beauty should not be removed for convenience ( totally understand if a tree is diseased ).... will keep you updated.. know lots of y'all don't even know who Publix Inc is.. but.. Google them... quite a large group... I'll stop on that note ! © All rights reserved

this photo shows the sadness felt when those tall Palms, ever so Stately in the Parking Lot at Southgate Shopping center.. vigilant for ages .. bite the dust for "Progress" .. phone calls to Main Office of Publix Supermarkets were no help -"am sure they will be replaced with more Palms" .. any other phone numbers on signs were also called - basically the same response .. no, the Palms were not replaced .. the dark sky fits ... © All rights reserved

what some call 'progress', others may not .. looking at this saddens me as I see workers demolishing the Publix Supermarket known for many years .. am told it will be "like the other Publix stores in layout" .. guess what ? I could care less ! but, this is one battle not won .. corporate did as it wanted .. © All rights reserved

Publix Supermarket, demolishing part of the store, to make it "better"... guess it is all a matter of opinion. Removing the beautiful, old Palms .. that isn't progress to me. © All rights reserved

Being replaced... one of the oldest Publix grocery stores, in their large chain, is being replaced.. updated.. made more modern.. Choose your term.. The old one was comfortable.. like an old pair of shoes.. you knew where the weak spots were, but you didn't care. They fit. My store fit me... fit many hundreds of souls nearby.. one gentlemen pointedly said to a manager.."don't ruin up my store!" I have to agree. We will see. Sometimes newer is better. But.. not always... will let you know... © All rights reserved -- updated store doesn't have the 'feel' of the older store -- no longer shop there -- Florida US
