My family moved to Tampa from Georgia in 1948 when I was a young child. We lived in the Hyde Park area and there was no Town `N Country. In fact there was not very much north of Hillsborough Avenue except woods and orange groves.
When I attended Plant High School the boys who loved to drag race would drive up to Hillsborough Avenue to race on the open road.

Our family moved to Town `N Country in Tampa thirty four years ago in July, 1968. I flew down from Atlanta in March to house-hunt. My husband Bob and I stayed at the Tahitian Inn on South Dale Mabry. Bob had been working in Tampa for a month. We drove and drove, it seemed forever, up Dale Mabry and onto two-lane Hillsborough Avenue. We had been told about a brand new area with lovely homes. We chose the tri-level model built by Lamont-Shimberg in the last section of the Morgan Woods area of Town 'N Country. The salesman told us that there would be a large flood control canal on the north side of Fountain Avenue; so we chose that side of the street. |
