Jimbo's

I thought Jimbo's(think of poboys)
was on the northeast corner of that intersection. The
other empty corner fronting the mini storage was where
the owner was killed. But my memory may be hazy.

Tony's Poboys and Donuts

Tony's Donuts were better cold than Mary Lee's flaming hot. I envision all food in heaven will taste like Tony's donuts. I miss them so much...

Does any one remember a brief eating establishment on Florida at Sherwood Forest BVLD called Cooleys ? I think they served fish and seafood but I can't remember. Must have been 1978-80 close to where Albertsons was located.

I believe the owner was Barry Root

There was a store on the corner of Old Hammond and Sharp that the owner was killed in while being robbed and the building is gone now.

Yes, this was across the street from Jimbos facing Old Hammond. There is a storage complex there now. It was a seafood market/restaurant. Owner was robbed and killed in about 2001-2002. Apparently he was very well liked in the community. I remember the name being something Pelican related, or there was a Pelican on the sign.

Yep, corner of N Sherwood and Florida Blvd I believe.
