            TECO street cars are seen in downtown Tampa, Florida, ca mid 1930's, Photo courtesy, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library.  Single truck Birney street car # 166 operating on East Zack Street is preparing to cross North Franklin Street, with other street cars seen in the background.  Birney # 166, was built by the American Car Company in 1923.  This is a busy scene, that must have been captured on film during the summer, because most of the people in the scene are wearing white shoes and light clothing.  To the left you can see the sign for the Maas Brothers Department Store and to the right you can see the historic Tampa Theater sign.  It appears by the construction seen on the corner, that a new Chandler's Shoe Store is coming to downtown Tampa.  In the background on the right side you can also see a sign for the Kress 5, 10 & 25 cent store.  Nest to the new construction you can see the sign for Lerner Shops.  There is one obvious thing that you may note about the people in this scene, because there are no fat people to be seen as compared with today!

The photo image was captured on film by Burgert Brothers Photography.
