What happens in different areas of Central Florida
Winter Park Boat Tour
If you live in Orlando, there is a good chance you’ll entertain visitors. Living in Florida can make even the blackest of sheep popular. Mid-April snow works wonders on family resentments. But Orlando is so much more than the area surrounding the Disney Empire. The trick is convincing our beloved interlopers of this. It’s good for the…
Downtown Credo
Credo Coffee At first glance, Downtown Credo would appear to be your typical indie coffeehouse. It’s got a funky interior, flyers in the corner, and you can count on at least one white person with patchouli-drenched dreadlocks will be hovering about. It’s chill with that artsy feel you know you crave. For me, just…
Cross Seminole Trail at Black Hammock
My daughter and I continued our exploration of the Cross Seminole Trail recently with a trip to the Black Hammock trailhead, located just a hair west of S.R. 417 on S.R. 434. This stretch of the mixed use trail is in excellent condition, pristine even,with a variety of scenery and settings. The trailhead provides restrooms,…
Trotwood Park
“I’m bored” cried my three year old daughter, “can we please go to chocolate park?” While I still had a pile of work on my plate, I could not deny the polite plea. Chocolate park is her nickname for Winter Springs’ Trotwood Park, which is located just off of Tuskawilla road and is a great…
Maria Bonita Mexican & Cuban Restaurant
If you’ve ever craved Cuban cuisine while around a group of friends or family who crave Mexican, and find that you’re always out voted, then this is the review for you. At an affordable price (I usually spend $25 with a drink or two added on), with surrounding décor and music that will please both…
The Hobby Spot
Have you ever said to yourself, “Man, if I only had a six foot tall replica of a T-800 from The Terminator I could die happy?” If so, I have the place for you, but you will need a serious roll of bills, it’s on the pricey side. Not to worry, there are smaller, more…
Sweet! By Good Golly Miss Holly
I’m not exaggerating as I write this by stating this is the third time I’ve attempted reviewing Sweet!. It’s not because I dread writing reviews, or because I had better things to do. It’s because Sweet! is busy every hour of every day – to the point of insanity! Depending on your threshold for excited,…
Nagoya Sushi
Although I don’t eat it nearly as often as I would like, maybe once a month, I don’t need a reason to want sushi, I don’t even have to be hungry, the answer to “do you want to get sushi” is always an immediate “yes!” My wife also loves the stuff, so when her birthday…
Lazy Moon Pizza
Look at that slice of pizza. That isn’t camera tomfoolery trying to trick you into thinking that it looks like a huge slice of pizza. It is a huge slice of pizza. This is what the people at Lazy Moon Pizza do every day. When you live in Florida, a state that prides itself in…
Art and Romance in the Park – Gallery
I really need a new camera, or a photographer, but I managed to get a few shots of last night’s Art and Romance in the Park. It was a great night, perfect weather, fun music, delightful art to take in and tasty food & drink to cap it all off. Many people set up picnics,…
