      Hey Jay, just to let you know I went out to the Ford Edison house and it is absolutely positively haunted. I took a picture of the ghost. I am a psychic medium so I guess she showed herself to me and it was pretty freaky. I was trying to maybe get a hold of you somehow. I don't do this professionally. I just do it whenever. It's kind of fun seeing/hearing dead people. But anyway the main house has a ghost in it. I have her picture but not quite sure how to send it to you... Keep doing what you doing. Your videos are cool.
      I looked up the One in Wellington Florida and it was closed in 2022 to to "unforeseen real estate issues." The mall wanted way too much money I'm guessing

    I have been to Ford's Garage restaurants on several occasions.
    Mostly the Cape Coral location but I have been to the Fort Myers location as well.
    They have great burgers and fries.
    I have tried the Model A burger, the Jiffy burger and the classic cheeseburger.
    I love the Automotive theming inside and outside the restaurant , so far my favorite location is the Cape Coral restaurant because that location is actually set up like a 1920s automotive service and repair station .
    Tampa Jay If you are ever in the Cape Cora area you should really check it out .

    The prices at restaurants now are insane. Comparing those prices to groceries though make it a little more justifiable to pay that price lol.

    The first one they opened outside of Florida was of course in Michigan, the birthplace of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company! This location in Dearborn is super special because it is ON Ford property near their headquarters! If you ever get the chance to travel to Michigan (my old home state) you should absolutely go visit the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village (located right next to each other), where you can ride in a Model T!!! Before moving to Florida, this was our “amusement park”. It has so much history! Definitely do some research on it! You would need a good solid day for each of the attractions. The Museum is PACKED with historical items!

    Those were Cuban Queen Palms along MacGregor Blvd in front of the Ford/Edison compound. MacGregor is known for its beautiful palms lining both sides of the road, which were sadly almost destroyed during hurricane Ian. The road is blocked because the road is having brick pavers laid in a herringbone pattern in front of the residences and along the crosswalk. Yes, I live here and you did a nice job on the restaurant and the area, thanks. The other two restaurants in Lee County are in Cape Coral and in Estero at the Miromar Outlets.
