A look back at Florida from the 1880's to present from the perspective of an Orlando native and 4th generation Floridian, Mike Forrester. Topics include history, towns, railroads, riverboats, citrus, ranching, aviation, tourism, theme parks, travel, memorable events and locales with an emphasis on Central Florida. My family moved to Central Florida in 1887, so I'll share some of our history as well.
