Here are a couple of snaps I took today around Noon. As you can see, an actual foundation is going in on the Publix market, with the rapidly evolving building of the CVS drugstore in the distance.
The other picture, taken from my drivers seat shows a very close up trench with multiple pipes running north and south. It beats the heck out of me what they're digging for here, but it's a nice shot of heavy equipment. The building to the right of the inset picture is where the delicatessen "Nosh A Rye" used to stand at the back of the mostly deserted "mall" managed by Dead River Properties.
Honest, Dead River Properties ........that was the name of the owner of the center, before Publix bought the place and unveiled their plans. There wasn't a river nearby, but the project was dead and dark and dingy. Change is coming to Longboat, finally, and as a Planning Commissioner I pronounce this change good.
