November 9, 1941 – Police arrest the managers of The Big Orange and Valencia Gardens in Hyde Park and charge them with liquor sales in dry districts on Sundays. The managers were the first arrests in the enforcement of the Sunday liquor closing ordinance adopted by voters of five of the city’s 12 aldermanic districts in the previous week’s election. The ordinance banned sales of whiskey, beer and wine on Sundays in two districts in Hyde Park, two in Seminole Heights, and one in East Tampa.
