    Hi Jordan, well, what an absolutely beautiful little town. Oh, that Antique Store, I saw a glimpse of a piano that plays on it's own, I haven't seen one of those in years. Aren't those old cash registers just amazing, a real work of art. I love the original Ziegfeld Follies costume, I think that should be in a Hollywood Museum. Great vlog Jordan.

    This is great Jordan. That was easily the best antique store I've ever seen you visit. There wasn't anything that I saw that wasn't great. Alot of antique stores have some nice things interspersed with a lot of junk. I didn't see any junk here. Loved it. I love that town too. After 35 years in South Florida right near Fort Lauderdale, we are considering selling our condo and moving to Mount Dora, Florida. Been doing a lot of investigating and while the prospect of moving is scary, it sounds like an overall great place. Our area has become a traffic nightmare and way overdeveloped.

    Another GREAT Vlog by Daze with Jordan the Lion. Thank you Jordan for taking us to so many fantastic places. *PS - Fernanddina Beach, FL - this town is a must visit. It's in Northern Florida - north of Jacksonville. In the spring they have so many fun festivals. It's probably my most favorite towns i've ever visited. ( tied #1 with Pleasington CA ) Fernandina - Fern and Dina *Another not so well-known but great towns to visit with GREAT beaches is Ponte Vedra. Along A-1-A, intercoastal canal highway - in northern Florida there is a beautiful old plantation you can visit called Kingsley Plantation. Northern FL ( in my opinion ) there is so much to see and do. Lighthouses, museums, festivals, tug boats, restaurants, beaches

    Jordan, if you love watching old movies you'd probably like "Gentleman Jim" starring Errol Flynn. He plays boxer James J. Corbett who defeated John L. Sullivan
    to become World Boxing Champion in 1892. This movie has lots of funny moments. By the way, the Plant City railroad station also has a live cam on RUclips to
    watch trains going by. Later!

    Places like this are reminiscent of the towns that I grew up in, and both Brooklyn, New York and a town outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, called new Cumberland. Where we had a onesie movie theater that still exists to this day. Very comfy 1950s hometown feel. That again, still exists to this day. I am so glad that towns like this are still around, and, these places aren’t going out of their way to modernize. Because I love stepping into a piece of the past in time piece towns like this. I live in one right now.
    When I wouldn’t do for a Woolworths launch counter right now. I am actually surprised that more of them haven’t popped up around the US. At least places that resemble those stores. We’re not a link you could go in and shop around for pretty much anything, including pets. But you could sit down at the lunch counter and get an incredible meal very cheaply. great stuff. You may have found my retirement area.
