Despite the traffic issues and the fascist police, maybe Orlando did get better after I left in 1986.

Still, I don't think I'll ever be able to live anywhere where there are no hills, real trees or streams.

Right next door to the restaurant is one of the best churches in the city....
New Beginnings Church, a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-generational non-denominational church. It is about 5 years old! We have a Summer Camp for the entire summer and the kids were outside playing when the President pulled up! it has changed their lives....
