I saw the photos. Many of these buildings are still standing. It would be interesting to take each of the UTA photographs and then go to the sites and take a photograph of what is there currently.

I couldn't access ST. But, as you know, the building that used to be Buddie's is now a Goodwill store.

If you are referring to the one on Camp Bowie right after the split of Camp Bowie and Camp Bowie West, I know that it is now a Goodwill Store. I work just a block down the street in the old Levitz Warehouse. I also remember when it was a Buddies.

That's the Buddies store. In the historic photo, note the Bowie Blvd. Drive-in. That was behind the store before Neiman Marcus bought the property and built their first Fort Worth store there.
My office is right below the striped tower in the background, right above the Goodwill Store sign.

I also enjoyed reading about the City Market in Westcliff Shopping Center. I remember when it was Wyatt's. I worked at the Worth Food Mart / Piggly Wiggly across the parking lot in the same shopping Center.
So was Worth Food Mart/Piggly Wiggly in the building where Albertson's is today? And City Market/Wyatt's would have been in the Jabo Ace Hardware? My wife noticed they were working on the awnings at Jabo's and they had S&H emblems on the building still under the old awnings.

Doohickie, you have them reversed.
East side of Westcliff Center:
- Worth Food Mart
- Piggly Wiggly
- Westcliff Hardware
- Jabo's Ace Hardware
West side of Center:
- Wyatt Food Store
- Kroger Wyatt Food Store
- Minyard's Food Store
- City Market
- Albertson's
I hope that I got all of the tenants listed. I may have forgotten some, but I think everyone can get the drift on how those stores changed over the years.
From what is exposed, you can see that the original center had some Art Deco detailing.

John, It appears you have all the correct tenants in the correct locations for the food store spaces in the Westcliff Center.
Doohickie, What was the time frame when you worked at the Worth Food Market in the Westcliff Center?
