Citrus Monuments

 Polk County Commissioners erected concrete markers at the boundaries of Polk County, Florida way back during the “boom” years of the state, around 1920, alongside the main roads leading in and out of the county. There are several like this one located in the county.

Amphicar at Disney Springs, Orlando Florida

The Amphicars at Disney Springs are an exceptionally rare breed of automobile. First, they’re amphibious, which means they can operate in water and on dry land. It’s quite a concept, and one that dates back to the early 1900s. But Amphicars were not manufactured until 1961. There wasn’t a huge demand for the frog-like vehicles, and only 3,878 were ever produced. Today, fewer than 400 Amphicars exist.

Bradley’s Country Store!

I recently visited Bradley’s Country Store, a 1927 family owned and operated general store, specializes in making the finest Homemade Sausage available using a century old secret family recipe. Grits and Cornmeal are also ground on site in the historic mill house. They are located 12 miles north of Tallahassee, Florida.
