Mount Dora: Florida. A Driving Tour of the Beautiful Downtown
Mt Dora: On Fifth Ave in front of Pizza Amore’s parking lot are two rusticated block columned and an old gate. It seems out of place because it doesn’t belong anywhere. It’s a sign that an old house once sat on that property which is now a parking lot.

About – CEDAR KEY ISLAND AIR TOURS
Welcome to the Island that is Florida in More peaceful time.
I read somewhere the other day that Cedar Key is what Key West was before the Conch Trains and the party crowds—-and though I’d never thought of it that way before it’s so true….both are small Islands and whie Key West is farther from the main land — Cedar Key is farther from the mainland big towns and heavy populations that we call civilazation.
Of course Cedar Key has only 773 persons living in an Area: 2.174 mi² (Key West has 24,843 in 7.21 mi²) But its a great place that I’ve visited more than once. It is a quieter place where you notice the bird’s song and the scent of the cedars and the sea surrounding you—and you see the Island Hotel, that dates before the Civil War. And you find that you’re perfectly content to slowly sip you wine while soaking in the sun and pondering the tide. And now my friend you have an idea why Cedar Key can be so addictive.
When dinner time rolls around it was said the best place to eat sea food on the island is that same hotel we mentioned before, The place to go to go after dinner drinks and fun was th L&M Saloon…A local’s hangout described by travel magazines as a “funky tumbled down place” that looked a bit forbidding with a shabby door and neon beer signs, but actually was a friendly place where the locals were welcoming– but alas it is no more.
But exmaining the new places and the old that are still there it seems to me that it’s still a great place to go and enjoy yourself with out dodging tourist trains and huge groups of people milling about. It is still a great time by the sea, shopping in local owned and operated shops as well as peaceful strolls in a place that social distancing would be more normal than in some others—-a place to find the sea as well as your sanity again

May is a festiva[ time in Btitain, when figures from its pagan past come dancing out into the street, but did you know that historically it was a partiularly important time for chimney sweeps? The May holiday was a time of year when sweeps could dust off the soot and have some fun. In Rochester, Kent, The Jack-in-the-Green ceremony was central to festivities. The 7 ft. green character would be woken at dawn on the Blue Bell Hill, Chatham, to accompany the chimney sweeps on parade, today the three day Rochester Sweep Festival is a vibrant mix of music, dancing an entertainment with more than 60 Morris Dancing sides taking parts.
