Bye-bye Publix

April 27, 2025April 27, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Our local Publix on the island is being demolished to make way for a new store by late 2026. This one has served Amelia Island since 1987.

It’s been refreshed over the decades, but this will be a total rebuild and expansion of the store.

What it may look like.

Fujifilm 200 color negative film. Processed and scanned by The Darkroom in San Clemente, California. I enjoy using my classic Canon FD lenses. The contrast and clarity always leave me satisfied with the results.
