Robert Is Here: Boy’s Fruit Stand Becomes Florida Landmark
Robert Is Here. That might seem like an unusual name for a business. But those three simple words have become legendary in South Florida. It all started 51 years ago on a roadside in Florida City near Homestead. In this small town on the edge of the Everglades, the Moehling family depended on farming for survival.
Time To Squeeze Into The Leather Chaps
Ten years ago, I covered my first Biketoberfest as a radio news reporter. I had just moved to Daytona Beach a few months before and didn’t really know what to expect when my news director handed me the assignment.

Broadcaster Sets Completion Date For I-4 Eyesore
It’s become known as the “Eyesore on I-4.” And more than ten years after construction first started, it’s still not finished.

Disney isn’t the only place in Central Florida that you’re likely to run into Snow White. Just outside Port Orange is the 175-acre Spruce Creek Preserve. This hidden Florida gem is a popular recreation area for locals.
Ground Chuck’s – Burgers That Transcend Time
The first bite is critical. The burger was cooked to perfection, the Swiss cheese was melted just enough and the bacon was crisp, but not overdone. And the bun…you know how unique and tasty a Fuddrucker’s bun is? Well, this one is kinda like that, just tastier.
