Gatorland

If you’re in Orlando, skip Disney World, go to Gatorland. Redefined what I thought a theme park could be and is the truest Florida experience. A mix between nature preserve and a redneck wonderland, you can immediately buy Budwiser in an aluminum bottle then see literally hundreds of gators living their best lives. You can also pay to feed the gators. Or watch a man with a pony tail jump on one’s back and hold their jaws closed with one hand while explaining their defense mechanisms. It cost $35 and everything here is real af.

soul music from florida’s first black-owned record label

I recently dove deeper into Numero Group’s reissue of tracks from Deep City Records, the Miami-based soul and R&B label founded by FAMU classmates Willie Clark and Johnny Pearsall in the early 60s. Really fun to trace the influences drawn from Motown, marching bands, and Afro-Caribbean music that created the “Miami sound” and launched the careers of great artists like Betty Wright, who recorded the linked song “Paralyzed” when she was 12 years old (!!!) 🐊🐊🐊 Supplemental: a solid YouTube documentary on the history of Deep City
