I began my career with the federal government in Daytona Beach in 1986 and spent quite a bit of time in training in Orlando and always thought it was a beautiful city. Except for some trips to theme parks in 1994, 2000, 2008, and 2011, I haven't spent any time in Orlando since 1993, as I moved to Mississippi, but I enjoyed this. You passed by the building where I had some of the training at the 30:32 mark.
I grew up in Orlando/Winter Park from 1969,till I left in 1988. I expected it to be so changed that I would no longer recognize it. But many areas outside of downtown look much the same. I haven't watched the International Dr.video yet.
R.I.P. to all the victims of the Pulse night club shooting that happened years ago. At the 0:45 mark, you can still see the club signage. I'm very happy that their memorial is still along the fencing.
Well, not only did you drive right by the hospital where I was born (then called Orange Memorial), but then you went down Anderson right past my first home and my earliest memory! Thanks...
If I were born in raised in Florida and still living there to this day in a nice 1-story house in Orlando instead of Ohio, it would certaily make it easier to go to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld that way. Plus, I would love to shop at the nearest Walmart supercenter that sells the same merchandise seen in the parks at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, and if Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse posters (in color) were sold there too before that version had entered the public domain, I would buy one for myself and get a poster frame for it. People who reside in Florida are lucky to live there. Maybe lucky might be the correct word for it, but still, I would love to live in Florida, that is if there weren't any hurricanes and humidity after it rains.
This is one of the city skylines where the city population (316,000) looks more believable than the MSA population (2.8 million). If that airport wasn't there, it would look more like Charlotte, NC (their skyline is tall).
As a result, Orlando is a suburban mess. Also, Disney and other Theme Parks are the largest employers in Orlando so they don’t need the amount of skyscrapers as a typical one for this metro.
@@w-josh Seems clear from the drive, as well as my recollections of downtown from my last time there about 25 years ago that there's been a deliberate land use policy to encourage residential development in areas previously commercial or industrial. Of course, that's not to mention what's happened to the west side of the tracks over the same period, what used to be residential (mostly for POC) is now a basketball arena and a soccer stadium. Of course, I-4 had a lot to do with that too, making the former black business district on Church St. and most of the nearby residents even more invisible than they were before.
As always another great ride! Thanks for keeping the passenger seat open
Thanks for vids I can explore the us in my room

Only 316k?

@@w-josh There is something to be said for the amount of new downtown residential...
@@flarrfan Could you elaborate?
