Text me your favorite South Florida memory.

Take a TALK Down Memory Lane as we continue on our Florida Toad Trip.

This podcast episode let's hop in dad's maroon1968 Plymouth Fury and head north to a little town called Lake Wales, where cars roll up hills...backwards, an old chalet now serves people in need, and one of the most beautiful bird sanctuaries anywhere resides at the top of Iron Mountain and is the highest point in all of Florida.

Lakes Wales holds a special place in my heart and I'm betting anything it does for you too.

Take a TALK down Memory Lane courtesy of a suggestion by one of you, our invaluable listeners.

Years ago in the pre-Disney days, road trips were a source of escape, excitement and if you were lucky Pecan Log Rolls. These along with a myriad of Florida-themed delights could be found at two different stores: Stuckey's and Horne's.

Once inside you could find lunch, breakfast, coconut patties, free orange juice samples, nuts, citrus fruit and so much more.

So c'mon, let's hop in the family sedan or station wagon, jump on i-95 and head north to yesterday and enjoy one more of the many Tales From South Florida.

Happy New Year!
And what New Year would be complete without recalling the wonder of the Orange Bowl. It was a legendary sports stadium that was home to the only Perfect Season in the NFL and a college football home-winning streak that was unrivalled.

Next, what New Year celebration about the Orange Bowl would be complete without discussing one of the most enduring, exciting and exquisite holiday parades to ever surround a major collegiate bowl event: The Orange Bowl Parade.

While both the stadium and the parade have now faded into history, the incredible impact they had brought both Miami and South Florida to national and international prominence.

If you ever attended either, or both, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Take a TALK Down Memory Lane for the Tale of the Orange Bowl.
And be sure to listen to the end for special listener shout outs! Maybe your name will be mentioned.
