I had a great uncle owned a barber shop in.Tampa and used to cut babe ruths hair and go scuba diving in wicki wachi before it became an attraction. Every where water was like glass and even downtown tampa river had dolphins swimming and the brick streets had cable cars 5 cent....orange trees growing all over town. Paradise. I was 11 i lived on Sanabel Island Florida was beautiful then...
I really hope our state lawmakers preserve what is left of old Florida. I was born here and grown up here but I was born in 2002, I learned what was old Florida and now I want to visit everything that was old Florida before its gone forever. I really wish some of these places are still here today for the new Generation to see
Pirate Jungle was a favorite with my family!!! Memories hahaha 🤣 wonderful Life Time ago.... We all wore the same T-shirts lol so we wouldn't get lost hahaha Thank you kindly for jogging my brain.
This is the Florida that I would love to visit. My friends grandparents who lived in Florida for many years said that there two Florida’s. Pre Disney and post Disney. It’s so overcrowded today.
Stuckey’s. Back in the fifties this is where you stopped for pecan pralines and ice water. Most cars didn’t have air conditioning so a stop for a cold drink of water was a necessity. And ice for your Scotch Cooler.
I used to drive downtown Ft Lauderdale on Andrew Street and get a home cooked breskfast for 75 cent....when hyw1was only 2 lanes. Beautiful and wonderful times 1970 only a little traffic at that time
Wait ... hold up a minute..WE HAD A PARK WITH FREE ROAMING LIONS?! Well that sounds like a horrifying idea LOL ..next up, swim with the alligators at GatorLand !! Gosh I love my wild weird and wonderful state !
Y dad grew up there in the 40/ 50 Miami I lived with grandparents 69/70 remember pirates world when my mom passed away was going thru old pictures and ran across Pirates world pictures thanks
Grew up in Dania and Hollywood, used to see the commercials for Pirates World, never got to go when it was open but went in at night as teenagers, spooky😱
I loved Florida back then I'm a native and the state is way to commercial now,lost all of its appeal and our history and monuments now its just a bunch of fill dirt and concrete yall ruined my state Thanks alot
Yes I totally agree with you, it used to have character to it, now it's cookie cutter homes, shopping plazas and over congestion. What a shame it truly was a paradise at one time 🤔
Yeah, we’re Florida children as my parents moved here to open Martin Meritta. So technically I’m a native but a migrant just the same but it’s a damn shame to see how growth has overcome around here! More than ever, it needs to slow down
It's a shame Cypress Gardens has closed and sold out to Legoland. Would still like to go just to show my children some of the remnant areas that were not paved over.
Florida where wacky uncle Danny could make fortune a with a parrot zoo Same guy couldnt get a loan on a pinto back in NYC that's why old school Florida was the best
It was the end of an era when Disney went in. Many thought it was going to be a boon to their businesses. They changed the interstate systems to accommodate all the traffic from Disney...the latest and greatest everyone had to see...and many of these old places got put out of business. The days of the car vacation on all the old Highways to all the old attractions was all but gone at that point, or started their decline, never to recover. Many of the larger ones existed until not too ling ago.
TALK ABOUT THE Racism that was taking place in these times.. born in 1936? how did she view blacks because in the thirties and they were very prevalent in florida since god made the earth... (alllll throughout the south and america period) and how those remains belong to the indigenous americans that "verazanno, columbus, and marco polo" saw when they arrived and said looked like Ethiopians... even though they were original Americans with dark hue in the millions.... the conquerer took it all with the help of the indigenous and made their own narrative like they do all over. bless
"Florida,. America's riviera". LOL! Having grown up in Florida, I can tell you that Florida is not comparable to the Riviera of anywhere. The term should be corrected to 'Floriduuuh, America's deplorable appendage'.
Lol!! Talk about video / reading comprehension issues lol 😂🤡😆 The video indicated that, *at the time* , Florida WAS considered, *not* "is considered", to be the "American Riviera". And, at the time, it sure-as-$_it was. Sadly, Florida has been ruined by poorly educated, ignorant and uninformed people like PilotV who were born long, long after those days were long gone.

Cypress Gardens was the most beautiful place you could imagine.
My parents went to Cypress Gardens on their honeymoon in 1960

Thanks for posting . I grew up in Florida in the 50's and visited almost all of these places . Brings back wonderful memories , thanks again :)

Here are a few ideas....tarpon springs.... where they dive for sea sponges, or Yubor city ,Cuban village, they make hand made cigars...

Old Florida was awesome! Now it’s just malls, apartment buildings, and tourist traps
This is the Florida that I would love to visit. My friends grandparents who lived in Florida for many years said that there two Florida’s. Pre Disney and post Disney. It’s so overcrowded today.
This makes me wish I had a time-machine.
I would take those days over these days any day Thank you so much for this video
Yes absolutely agree with you, it truly was a special time to have experienced. Now everything is mass production and over populated 🤔
@@frankrizzo4460 if you were white yes it was

Silver Springs, Ocala is not on the St. John's River 10:07 which is about 40 miles east. It is located on the Silver River.
And what beautiful river it is!
Been traveling to FL since the 60's .Moved to Fl in the 80"s .Florida today doesnt resemble anything that I remember about it
I loved Florida back then I'm a native and the state is way to commercial now,lost all of its appeal and our history and monuments now its just a bunch of fill dirt and concrete yall ruined my state Thanks alot

Used to be great here before all the housing developments
Yes u are right
Like every thing else it was ruined by to many people moving there .
Yeah, we’re Florida children as my parents moved here to open Martin Meritta. So technically I’m a native but a migrant just the same but it’s a damn shame to see how growth has overcome around here! More than ever, it needs to slow down
Thank you for this wonderful video! So interesting! I like the Monkey Jungle story, where people were caged instead of animals.
Oh wow I miss the Florida I grew up with! Thank you
I remember going the kapok tree restaurant and inn as a kid.for a kid from way up in the northeast it was definitely different.
great video thank you
Funny how at 0:57 it says families headed south but the footage is I-95 northbound approaching the Golden Glades interchange area in Miami
It's a shame Cypress Gardens has closed and sold out to Legoland. Would still like to go just to show my children some of the remnant areas that were not paved over.
Very cool video. 😎❤
Gatorland was the best. You could buy a cayman (smaller alligator) there for $1.50 if I remember correctly.
2:50 Dwight Schrute makes an appearance
Christ they brought fucking lions to Florida lmao
Dealt with East Coast greed and no respect for the ecology.
Coolness
Tim reminds me of forest gump...😃😁😊
Silver Springs was amazing!
It's still pretty nice
The makings of LEGO land👍
💜💜💜💜💜
Circus world was awesome also
💜💜💜
0:14 Didn't know they promoted the colored shields back then!
Did I see penny-wise on ski's???
💗💗💗💗💗
And the sand monster is still there..reaches up and sucks you under ground...
Guy likes like a vampire😳
Looks like
0:43 mickey mouse!
Dear god, the 90's were weird!
Via the Rothschild's -- "Bread and Circuses".
Where's Mouseland, I want to see Mr. Jingles the circus mouse.

Is that Ray Suarez narrating?
i think it might be
@@sirreal420 I did some research and it is indeed Ray Suarez - this was titled "Greetings from Forgotten Florida"
his voice is so distinctive
Lawd they had the monkey on a rope 😭😭
Florida where wacky uncle Danny could make fortune a with a parrot zoo Same guy couldnt get a loan on a pinto back in NYC that's why old school Florida was the best

A lot to love & miss about Old Florida, but not the rampant, unregulated animal abuse. Hated it then, hate it now.
The Snowflake people have ruined everything in America
Walter Elias Disney made Florida what it is today.
It was the end of an era when Disney went in. Many thought it was going to be a boon to their businesses. They changed the interstate systems to accommodate all the traffic from Disney...the latest and greatest everyone had to see...and many of these old places got put out of business. The days of the car vacation on all the old Highways to all the old attractions was all but gone at that point, or started their decline, never to recover. Many of the larger ones existed until not too ling ago.
Florida: Home of Americas largest sink holes..👍👍

Disney killed the old florida.😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Florida was great until all the hoa and housing developments now it's just purgatory
and most of the housing especially 55+ sits empty most of the year
It is disgusting.
"Florida,. America's riviera". LOL! Having grown up in Florida, I can tell you that Florida is not comparable to the Riviera of anywhere. The term should be corrected to 'Floriduuuh, America's deplorable appendage'.
