Best of 2012: Residents Save Pieces of Publix Mural
We're reviewing 2012 by remembering our favorite stories from each month of the year. In February, members of the GFWC Temple Terrace Woman's Clubs saved pieces of tile from the old Publix mural.
As 2012 comes to a close, Temple Terrace Patch is taking a look back at the year that was.
The GFWC Temple Terrace Woman’s Clubs knew the mural on the old Publix building in the downtown redevelopment area couldn’t be saved as a whole piece, but that didn’t stop them from taking hammers and chisels to the store the day before it was set to be demolished.
They chipped off several pieces of tile and have been using those pieces to create stepping stones and paperweights that they have spread throughout the community.

Perhaps Scott Andrews, the city’s athletics supervisor, put it best when the clubs donated stepping stones to the Family Recreation Complex by saying: “We’re quite literally preserving Temple Terrace one step at a time.”
