Found this old picture of the delray beach shopping center, this place still exists and looks the same today, although houses an Advance Auto Parts now, not sure if you've seen it before Adam. looks neat, i like the arch. this is on N Federal Hwy right before you get into boynton, was built in the 50s

also they split the store in half, the vacant part has some old light fixtures and round vents. the arch seemed to be a typical food fair store front, like publix had the V in their store fronts in the 50s and 60s

Amazing that it still exists in its original form. I LOVE pics like this from the 50s through the 80s, makes me wish a time machine existed.

It actually works as a remotely modern structure too, looks like its been well-kept.

Me three.. I see that when I'm coming from Delray Beach going to the Goodwill and the new Habitat which is a block from the Goodwill, and just a few blocks from that Plaza.. I don't know exactly where the Delray/Boynton city limits are, but I believe it's more north of the Goodwill and Habitat, the Goodwill is called the Delray Beach store according to the Goodwill location map.. I figured that plaza was from around the 50s..
That's the same Goodwill location I met Pierce Phillips back in 2004 when he lived in, I believe Boca Raton, possibly it was Delray..

Yeah im glad to see they maintained it well, aparently there was a fire there about a year ago, it was minor, i think thats when advance auto parts became a tenant and redid the inside
