I remember Jefferson-Ward which was a Montgomery Ward owned chain.

Also, I believe there is a Spaghetti Warehouse in Ybor City near Tampa.



Does anyone remember the Silver Ring cuban restaurant chain in Tampa back in the 80s & 90s?

You could get a huge breakfast for about $2.00 and a full lunch- soup or salad, sandwich, drink & dessert for about $4.00. All homemade.

Heres a few I scanned up. Does any one remember the seed, I remember the local news would occasionally feature a few kids from the neighborhood and my parents would ask if I knew them...lol

The sterlings ad still cracks me up because I had those exact pants.

I cut it off in the scan but thats Gunther Volkswagon
