when I was born in FL,  the population was about 2.5 million.  When I graduated high school up in Jax, population was pushing over 5 million.  Now, it's right at 23 million.   The changes brought about by millions of yankees moving here have not all been good.

Yep, born & raised 3rd generation, grew up in Pre-Disney Orange County, when Orlando was not a big town, you could go dove hunting in the TG LEE dairy farm fields on Orange Avenue.

A boy in those times could run endlessly through the woods with a .22 rifle in hand, camp where you wished, never worry about getting in trouble.

Seems like a better time to me.

Endless orange groves, cattle, and a few defense contractors and NASA were the big business in town.

Still wouldn’t live anywhere else.
