From the archives, here are two photos from January 2019.
Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida (near Orlando) has a "Walk of Fame" containing stones from over 200 different locations. The collection includes stones taken from birthplaces, property, or even graves of famous people, or from locations important in history. Apparently, back when some of these were collected, this was not considered vandalism. However, my understanding is that the majority of these stones were taken with permission. Here's more information on the Walk of Fame.
Fred Rogers ("Mr. Rogers") (above, upper right), was an alumnus of Rollins College.
Here's another stone.
Orlando has so much more to offer than theme parks.
Joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for her #WordlessWednesday.
That was interesting and I agree there is more than theme parks to explore
ReplyDeleteHave an interestingtastic week 👍
That would be a most interesting walk.
ReplyDelete...we need a "Mr. Rogers" today.
ReplyDeleteOrlando has a long history before Disney. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat struck me is that the Wright Brothers stone spells Wilbur's name as Wilber.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take this walk. Cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
It's interesting this place. We have in some areas some stars with names of artists or writers. I like the idea of these stones.
ReplyDeleteA Happy New Year with health and joy! ❤️😘
From now on, I'm going to call the Wright Brothers Orville and Wilber.
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool.
ReplyDeleteHeaded to Orlando next month and wanted to see more than the typical hustle and bustle of the theme parks. This seems really cool to see.
