For better than a decade, Polk County's 39-Mile Yard Sale has been a great attraction for bargain hunters and pickers from all over. It stretches from Haines City to Frostproof each year with dozens of yard sales, garage sales and rummage sales dotting the route.

For all the years we have lived in Florida we never really knew much about Eau Gallie. We were aware that it was a town someplace but never knew exactly where it was. We recently found out when we went to Melbourne and attended their First Friday celebration.

At 18 acres, it's a lot smaller than we had anticipated. Apparently, it originally had been much...

When we stopped by, we found...
On a recent trip to Anna Maria Island we were looking for a good breakfast. Everyone pointed us to Ginny & Jane E's. Our stop there vaulted it into the next round for our top Florida breakfast locations.
Officially, it's known as Ginny & Jane E's at the Old IGA Store. The cafe,...
