We have written about DeLand in the past. Recently, we found a little community nestled inside their Historic downtown. Dubbed "Artisan Alley," it is dotted with interesting shops, restaurants and clubs that are in a three block area just off the beaten Path.

When in Punta Gorda, we found that a stop by Fishermen's Village is a must. In short, it's a resort, marina, shopping area and entertainment complex rolled into one.
We have visited Punta Gorda in the past, but only have blogged about their wonderful historic section. That being said, this is a part of the...
We had seen on several occasions that the city of Stuart was known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World." So on a recent trip to the Treasure Coast we decided to check it out. In fact, we found sailfish represented just about everywhere. The most prominent is a giant sailfish fountain. It is centered in...

However, it now appears further notice finally has arrived.
We have learned...
Ideal Classic Cars is located in Venice. The question is, is it a museum or a dealership? Well it appears to be both.
Set along the US 41 Bypass, Ideal Classic Cars has over 100 vintage, classic and custom cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles. They are parked in a 30,000 square foot, air conditioned building....
While the Coronavirus has just about everything shut down, we decided to take a look at Florida Tourism. It appears to us that a lot of it is planes, trains and automobiles. Over the course of our travels, we have visited a number of places that fit this bill. We thought you'd like to look back on...
August is Motor Sports Awareness Month and the Sebring International Raceway already is celebrating. The Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring has been voted the best motorsports event in North America.
