Photographer recreates historic photos of Tampa, Ybor City

Decades ago in Tampa, commercial photographers the Burgert Brothers churned out photographs by the thousands, from 1917 through the 1960s. Some of their sharpest shots were taken while standing on the top of their truck. Photographer Chip Weiner went to different buildings that were captured on film by the Burgerts years ago. He figured out where they stood so he could recreate the same photo, decades later.
The Burgerts’ shot of the famed restaurant shows Goody Goody at its original location on Florida Avenue. Chip’s shot shows the parking lot where the iconic restaurant once stood. He also took new shots of the famous Columbia Restaurant. It’s large now, but it wasn’t always.
