O-Town

Tonight, we visited downtown Orlando. It is waaaaay different (and better!) than touristy International Drive and points beyond. I liked it way better. Ian, I saw the Orange Blossom Special comin' down the line! There is a portion of Church St., which the city is revitalizing. There is an old train station, authentic Orange Blossom Special locomotive and boxcars, and new restuarants scheduled to open soon. However, there is a little shady money business going on right now. Some local scammed about $100million from Florida residents, and ran his operation from the Church St. district. But, once its done, I think it will look pretty cool!

Not much else to say. This guy named "Shorty" toured us around the downtown, recommending restaurants. We finally chose a tex-mex place with outdoor seating. The food was pretty good, and there was live music. I thought the restaurant across the street "Slingapour" had a pretty clever name which deserves recognition.
