If you’ve enjoyed Ybor, Sonny, I’m sure that you’ve been there. It’s
wonderful site. The Gonzmart family has come to a spot similar to what the
Brennans assumed in New Orleans with multiple restaurants. The Gonzmart
family has not only grown the Columbia marquee they have also taken on both
new restaurant projects and then also reviving old local marquees from the
past in Tampa, like Goodies, a burger-joint from the late 1940s and 1950s.
Speaking of old marquees - does anyone still have any of the Bakelite
Kodak box cameras? I found an old Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash model in the
family treasure boxes that I have also found 620 negatives that probably
came from it during a time before me. The lens and the viewfinder optic
don’t appear too cloudy and the shutter still works. I’m wondering if a
roll of 120 would work in it? I’m still looking for the take-up spool.

That’s a great memory to have, Bill. Yes, Mr Hernandez’s family stilloperates the restaurant which has now expanded to 7 locations around the
state. 115 years in Ybor - the family name has changed to Gonzmart via Mr
Hernandez’s one child, a daughter, marrying but keeping she and her husband
in the business, and now two more generations in addition. I thought that I
had some images from the last time I was there but they must’ve been on
film as I couldn’t find them on the hard drives, but I grabbed a couple
from the web site just to show you how the Ybor site looks today. :)

I haven’t heard the word Ybor in ages. I hope the Columbia Restaurant

sent us a mixed box of whiskeys and cordials every Christmas.

Yes, Bill, you are correct. They went out of commercial use with the
EPA in the late 1970s started finding it’s feet, so to speak . Gosh the
last time I saw a smudge-pot was in an antique shop in Ybor and the seller
was asking $450.00 for it, and it was one rough example of the device. :)
It’s pretty interesting how irrigation and frost-protection technology has
advanced, just like everything else. The industry went from smudge-pots to
over-head sprinklers to a brief foray into large propeller driven fans
oscillating above the tree-tops to finally today’s under-tree micro-jets.
No telling where its headed next - I’m speculating that there will be a
venture into genetics and developing varieties that are frost/freeze
resistant, if the folks up in the university labs aren’t already doing that
in Gainesville at UF or at Davis in California at UC.

Thanks for the confirmation. We haven’t used overhead sprinklers
years. The industry has switched to micro-jet emitters that, for
freeze-protection, to create the same ice envelope on the fruit from below
from the ground lain system, and it also generates a warm-vapor envelope
that wisps through the canopy during the night coating the limbs and trunk
in ice as well. Thanks, Aram - it’s always interesting to see how other ag
folks handle weather conditions and protect a coming crop.
