WILTON MANORS, FL – Visitors to Wilton Drive last Thursday, Jan. 5, may have noticed a familiar face, or one that became increasingly familiar as the day went on.

Tom Tabor, board member and vice president of Wilton Manors Main Street (WMMS) and a crew of volunteers and photographers decamped up and down the length of Wilton Drive, part of a day-long photo shoot coordinated by the not-for-profit organization and featuring the top 100 businesses, people, and activities of the city’s merchants and professional offices. They started at 6 a.m., and went on well into the night.

“I never thought I would have so much fun,” said Tabor, a retired businessman and activist with WMMS who, along with several colleagues, hiked the length and breadth of Wilton Manor’ main drag, capturing businesses at work–and in some instances, play–for a presentation “A Day in the Life of Wilton Manors.” The final results will be shown at a lunch event hosted at The Manor Restaurant and Entertainment Complex on Wednesday, Jan. 18, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Tabor says he never felt so welcome. “The working press and photographers enjoy a degree of access that, frankly, I wasn’t sure I would have,” Tabor recalls. “There was so much enthusiasm for this project, and we hope this translates into friends and supporters coming out to support the finished product on Jan.

18.”
