Born there in the 70s…grew up there in the 80s. Remember all those spots .. especially Burger Chef. My grandma and I went there so much, one year they had a birthday cake for me when we showed up. We’d walk over from her apartment in Seville Place. Great memories. Thanks for this vid.
I remember most of these places, but I specifically remember Taco Tico, Zayre, Montgomery Wards, and the old ice skating rink. I'm not going to lie I shed a tear for the Orlando I knew, miss those days.
Thank you for this. I grew up in Orlando, 2nd generation and I can not wait to show this to my mom. Odds are she will cry from the memories just like I did watching this. God I so miss Old Orlando, simple, easy, beautiful....
I grew up in Pine Hills, and I remember all the places in the video. They bring back a lot of great memories. Pine Hills was a great place to grow up in the 50's through the 70's, but I wouldn't want to live there now. It makes me rather sad to think of the area's decline.
I hear ya! Came back after 25 yrs to retire. Wow how things have changed! I decided to live in a smaller town between Orlando and Daytona. Life is still good here.....for now. Glad I'm old. The country is turning to crap...
If Pine Hills was developed in the 1950s for Lockheed Martin employees. What happened that caused the decline in income. It's locking, Martin is still there and hiring, was it? The 70s drug epidemics was pine. Hills hit harder than a lot of other places. I'm very interested.
I was raised in pine hills and still live here and this was so awesome! I tried to see if I could remember some of the places…talk about a step back in time 🫶🏽
Thank you for the beautiful content! My family began in Pine Hills with my great grandparents of Lee and Rick’s… My grandfather owned Skate World and seeing that photo gave me a piece of him. Thank you!!
@@ebbets1957I lived on Heinrich Dr. Went to Hiawassee, Robinswood and Evans. We used to wait for the school bus at the corner of Sagewood and Hiawassee next to the house with the tennis court. Went to Skateworld when it first opened up; it was a big deal back then.
I grew up in that area where that Publix is at I was born in 71 grew up there through the '80s early '90s I was born and raised there used to be one of the nicest places in Orlando to move to there and Rosemont
Well done. I moved to Central Florida in '92 and Pine Hills 6 years ago. I'm struggling to remember where many of these places are and what they've become. Thank you for sharing this collection.
I grew up there. Went to Pine Hills elementary, Eccleston Elementary School, Meadow Brook Middle and Evans High school. Left they 29 years ago when I was 15
I grew up in PH in the 70s and 80s I went to the OLD Ridgewood Elementary School. I don't remember a Frisch's Bigboy restaurant being there. I do remember the giant peaches on the corner of N Pine Hills road and W Colonial Dr. and the Taco Tico on Silver Star Rd. now Dominos Pizza. There use to be a Publix right behind it. I use to like pushing the returnable bottles on the belt of rollers in the back of the store for my mom and watching them go to infinity and beyond!
olemanatwheel these are just my own personal memories of the pine hills I grew up in. Whether it is “technically” part of pine hills didn’t really matter to me. Getting a bit picky.
olemanatwheel also, if you notice, it is meant to be a “drive” down silver star road, turning left on Hiawassee rd, then another left down west colonial drive...
I run a youtube channel with a buddy I met in Meadowbrook Junior High (not middle); the intro is about 'Pine HIlls Palace' where I go on about the 'hood...think of Graceland estate...
@@yungroyaldick Which buildings? The Burger Chef became Hardee's which is still there I think...the Winn Dixie / TG&Y across from Evans High were separate stores in a big long shopping center with some other smaller ones...some of these photos though look like 'Orlando' and maybe not 100% Pine Hills, I may be wrong. Cut through Seville place to walk behind the power lines to go home.....
Even today Pine Hills is far different, but is still a Goldmine… Many places in PineHills are still the same. For those of you who left, you actually may have caused some of the downfalls.. ijs.. Cherish what you have and make the best of it.. Once you upgrade and start spreading the good news, there begins the abandoning process which allows new families from all over to take your old places

The Frisch's was across the street from Parkwood Plaza on 50. Loved going there as a kid!
I remember!!!
And the snow?!!! How wild is that?
There was a musical instrument store in this plaza when I moved here in 1971. Does anyone remember it's name?
Pine Hills when it wasn't quite so crazy. Also from 3:40 on, that's considered part of the hills? I thought it was more Rock Lake area then the Hills.

I graduated from that high School in 1990
Where did you find Hiawassee Elementary? Best lunch ever! Homemade yeast rolls every day!
I took those photos myself the summer before it was torn down while visiting Orlando on a business trip. I think it was Summer of 2003.
Taco Tico! 25 cent tacos..and Tom's Pizza! 15 cents a slice!! ...life was so much better then../sigh
I'm from here but was born 2011
I run a youtube channel with a buddy I met in Meadowbrook Junior High (not middle); the intro is about 'Pine HIlls Palace' where I go on about the 'hood...think of Graceland estate...
Xtreme Movie Show what was the difference between them? We’re there 2 separate buildings?
@@yungroyaldick Which buildings? The Burger Chef became Hardee's which is still there I think...the Winn Dixie / TG&Y across from Evans High were separate stores in a big long shopping center with some other smaller ones...some of these photos though look like 'Orlando' and maybe not 100% Pine Hills, I may be wrong.

@@Xtrememovieshow you were cutting across the golf course behind the fire department. I bet you hung out in the burger chef parking lot too lol
