Orlando's growth boom has been so recent and so rapid that my current office was a cow pasture until 2005. We didn't even get our first proper cocktail bar (the kind with original drinks and jiggers to measure everything) until 2012. Now there's three or four within walking distance, plus more in the outlying towns like Winter Park and Sanford. Entire neighborhoods have sprung up in the past decade.

I lived there as a kid - pre-mouse days. Back then Orlando was old people and orange groves. Literally. There was a grove behind our house and orange and lemon trees in the yard. And we lived in Orlando itdelf, not on the outskirts. It was just a small, quiet southern city with a pinch of excitement from the space launches less than an hour away.

He's Bobby Blake Bortles.

Hello from someone who escaped West Palm Beach in 2002. It was hot and the people sucked, but the seafood and hispanic food of all varieties cannot be replicated in Pittsburgh. Trump lives there now and we knew he was a fucknugget before he started running for president, but I guess the rest of the state didn't get the memo. On a related note gently caress anywhere in Florida more North and West of it.

Naturally Grampa lived in a condo in Sunny Florida so we picked there instead of Tiny Town, Minnesota where the other grandparents lived. The big plus was going to Cocoa Beach on the regular, and watching Apollos 11, 12 and 13 launch from a few miles away. Other than that, not a lot of entertainment options for kids.

My dad's best friend worked for NASA when I was a kid, so I got to hang out in some of their buildings and see some cool stuff. We also got invited to the family viewing area to watch shuttle launches a few times.

Orlando is the place people come from around the world to do tourist stuff and burn off their rear end in a top hat energy so they can act human the rest of the time. For this, we must thank it.

Florida is great as long as you go far away from where all the people are and look at the cool alligators and iguanas. For example check out this sassy boy.
