Chillin Out

Today we got a new refrigerator. Our old one, which came with the house had a recent peculiar problem. Things in the vegetable bin became frozen. Things in the freezer became soft. Ever try eating frozen celery? Or drinking ice cream?

Not the way I like to enjoy my food.

So we shopped around. We went to Home Depot. We went to Lowes. We ended up at our old standy Famous Tate.

About every appliance we bought since Susan and I were married has been at Famous Tate. Sometimes from their showroom and sometimes from their scratch and dent in the back. They always seem to have a good selection and their prices are good to. We always shop at the store in North Tampa at 8317 N. Armenia Ave.(just south of Waters) phone (813) 935-3151. We have never had any problems with anything we bought there.

Nathan Stahl was the sales rep I dealt with this last time. Good guy.

So why is Famous Tate called Famous Tate?

Famous Tate is apparently now owned by John Horst.

I am not finding much more, except there was a landfill next to their property.
