This label, featuring the beautiful Lake Mirror Promenade and Civic Center, helped to promote the City of Lakeland. . . . #Strawberries #throwbackthursday #cratelabels #lakemirror #promenade #vintageadvertisement #vintageart #vintage #retroart #florida #Lakeland #civiccenter #transportation #LakelandHistory #SpecialCollections #LakelandHistoryRoom A post shared by Lakeland Public Libraries (@lakelandpubliclibrary) on Mar 15, 2018 at 12:15pm PDT When built in the 1920s, the Lake Mirror loggia and promenade were known as the Civic Center.
