Art Market is over did not make it down
2:16
here in time for it got in really late
2:19
last night got some reverse jet lag
2:23
because I did lose a few hours coming
2:26
back from the west coast to the East
2:29
Coast but I'm here starting the day
2:32
little
2:37
afternoon feels good in the
2:37
shade oh look at that that's cool it's a
2:39
motorcycle but it's got two wheels in
2:41
the back it's like a like a tricycle got
2:43
the STS up streets are closed off for
2:45
just a little bit
2:47
longer the streets will reopen a little
2:49
later but all the vendors have gone away
2:51
for the day already a lot of people out
2:52
riding their bikes actually quite a few
2:54
people out riding their bikes summer I
2:57
don't think officially is started yet
2:58
but it's pretty dang close close to
3:00
starting at some point I'm going to be
3:02
going out of town in a few days but at
3:04
some point while I'm here I'm going to
3:06
start doing some pool hopping around
3:07
town I might take the card around and do
3:09
some pool hopping so there's the post
3:11
office obviously not open today cuz it
3:14
is Sunday and the Cornerstone Market
3:16
which closed a few months ago has not
3:24
reopened I'm excited to get over to the
3:24
orange and I think I'm going to hold off
3:26
on a piping hot caffeinated beverage at
3:28
this moment I did have one this morning
3:30
when I awoke at
3:33
home but I think I'm as far as being out
3:35
and about I think I'm just going to
3:36
stick with a a bunch of Y see they
3:38
tearing down everything over here from
3:41
the farmers market there's a squirrel up
3:43
there probably
3:44
wants a little snack I don't have a
3:48
snack to give the squirrel plus I don't
3:50
think I'm supposed to cuz there's a sign
3:51
right there it says
3:53
oh says do not feed the squirrels but
3:57
who would
3:58
know who would know if I had a little
4:00
snack squirrel I would
4:27
know I was noticing over there that the
4:27
fountain Fountain is not on in fact a
4:30
couple of fountains in town are not
4:32
on but that one in particular they got
4:35
all the stuff around it keep anyone from
4:37
walking and probably replacing the tile
4:39
work then I also noticed over
4:49
here in the water are some unique little
4:52
patterns circular
4:58
patterns underneath the water's surface
4:58
like burrow holes almost
5:06
got like a bunch of hidden mickys
5:06
they're just either for fish or turtles
5:08
or something right underneath the
5:10
surface of the water this is a pretty
5:13
interesting car right here parked over
5:14
at the celebration Hotel
5:38
got a bird there and then over here take
5:38
a
5:39
look hello
6:03
classic car
6:03
alert
6:05
nice very
6:08
nice a real old
6:11
classic cruising down the big sidewalk
6:13
that runs parallel to 192 even though it
6:16
is Sunday at the moment as I'm out and
6:20
about that's not the reason that this
6:22
Chick-fil-A is
6:24
closed closed on Sunday the reason is
6:28
cuz it's under instuction it says close
6:30
until
6:32
August right there there aren't any
6:34
workers working today cuz it is the
6:37
weekend but I'm going to take the cart
6:41
parallel to 192 down to the orange
6:51
World good wide sidewalks made for carts
6:51
made for bikes made for Walkers made for
7:00
everything that's get a little tight
7:00
through
7:01
here there still plenty of
7:17
room this is kind of interesting this
7:17
gift shop has been here back as far as I
7:19
can
7:20
remember but this sign is calling
7:30
it Studio One gift shop
7:30
never have I ever known anyone to call
7:32
it that studio
7:35
one
7:41
right I just always called it the big
7:41
eagle American flag gift shop I guess it
7:44
technically has a name
7:46
studio1 over here facing 192 all this
7:49
has gone vertical used to be an old
7:51
Motel here was a little restaurant years
7:55
ago it closed and it sat empty for a
7:56
while then they tore it down went over a
7:58
little speed hump or bump but it's going
8:15
happening cutting through
8:15
Oldtown cart Crossing cart Crossing
8:19
overload through Oldtown CMI fun spot
8:22
right over there as
8:24
well that's
8:27
great mother nature we get it you're
8:30
hot alluding to how scorching it is out
8:34
here right now 97° at the
8:46
moment this is pretty dang exciting so a
8:46
give or take a month it's been about a
8:49
year ago let's say let's just call it a
8:50
year there was a fire here everyone kind
8:53
of fear everyone including myself feared
8:55
for the worst that it was either going
8:57
to get completely burned down or they
8:59
were going to have to tear it down
9:00
evidently it was still structurally
9:03
sound so they just repainted and redid
9:06
the outside completely shelled out the
9:11
inside and now have reopened the inside
9:15
and all the gift shop is now back
9:17
reopened again and all the time first
9:20
few months it was completely closed but
9:22
then after being closed a couple months
9:25
they had a lot of the items out front
9:28
where the oranges are they had a lot of
9:30
gifts and t-shirts and things out front
9:32
but now they moved all that inside and
9:33
the
9:34
inside yes is
9:37
officially open for business once again
9:40
orange world is
9:49
back check it
9:58
out course as I'm narrating this is
9:59
people eating at the food truck sitting
10:03
outside and they're probably like what
10:04
is wrong with that guy why is he talking
10:06
like that pointing himself at a orange
10:08
world I get it all right I will say
10:11
however this is a little bit of a bummer
10:13
they remov the original mural that was
10:15
not fire damaged in fact during the
10:18
renovations the fire never hit this part
10:21
but they've chosen to recover it with a
10:24
new pathway here got the oranges and of
10:26
course the orange bird that Disney World
10:30
is kind of latched on to but it's
10:32
originally the mascot of the Florida
10:34
Citrus industry of Florida for many
10:38
years and now people when they see the
10:39
orange Bo they think of Disney World
10:42
however there was a really great mural
10:43
here that was used in the movie The
10:45
Florida project and that was the first
10:49
thing when I discovered that there had
10:50
been a fire I was out of town a year ago
10:53
you know around a year ago and when I
10:55
came back into town to see that the
10:56
building was still standing I was really
10:58
happy that the mural was untouched but
11:01
now the mural has been changed so rip
11:04
Florida project
11:06
mural dang I mean I love the orange I'm
11:09
not saying the orange BG is not awesome
11:10
but dang yeah in fact it's the first
11:12
photo I have over my Instagram Adam the
11:14
woo
11:15
atw my Instagram down here I only have I
11:18
only have a select few photos but the
11:21
first
11:22
one is the old mural I never thought
11:26
that would go away but they've changed
11:28
it
11:31
at least I got the photo dang that took
11:33
me by surprise that they painted it
11:35
painted over it it really it really took
11:37
me by surprise so definite good news
11:40
with orange World reopening amazing news
11:44
so happy that the inside but a little
11:46
bit of slightly bad news another Florida
11:50
project iconic spot from that film is
11:54
gone by the wayside there been a couple
11:56
that are gone the last one that changed
11:58
was the magic mag Castle Hotel not
12:00
painted purple anymore even though they
12:02
embrace it they have a little mural in
12:04
the in the uh the check-in area the
12:07
Magic Castle is no more The
12:11
prominent you know Landmark used in the
12:13
film is no longer that hotel anymore
12:16
that Motel I should say and this was
12:19
definitely a big a big spot where anyone
12:21
that likes that movie could come and get
12:22
a a photo with but now you got to get a
12:24
photo with the orange bird all right
12:26
anyway said my piece on that wonder
12:29
where that road
12:30
leads but how cute is the freaking
12:32
orange
12:34
bird I do love some orange bird they
12:36
also have some good Disney pens in here
12:38
too I wonder if this is still active
12:40
though they didn't paint over this the
12:42
five the 5 for
12:44
10
12:45
t-shirts that's been there for a long
12:47
time too such an iconic
12:52
spot iconic Roadside Attraction here on
12:55
Highway 192 one of
12:58
the Staples the
13:00
landmarks of earo Bronson Highway very
13:04
thankful that this is reopen very
13:05
thankful one thing this place is really
13:08
known for not only is the gift shop but
13:10
you can also
13:12
purchase fruits oranges citus Naval
13:17
oranges tangerines things like that you
13:19
can have them
13:20
shipped anywhere you want to go so you
13:23
don't have to necessarily just buy them
13:24
here also look at Mickey right there
13:25
this under 24-hour
13:28
surveillance pretty exciting to be to go
13:30
walking through the door once
13:33
again the fire just completely you know
13:37
demolished and destroyed the whole
13:38
inside just not
13:40
only fire damage but then all the
13:43
products that were inside were
13:44
completely fire damaged as well so had
13:47
to get all new inventory and they did
13:48
restock a lot of the same same similar
13:51
stuff that they had but that they had
13:52
before a lot of the same t-shirts and
13:56
little knickknacks and things like that
13:58
that
13:59
that bear the name of orange world as
14:02
well and they they s they actually sell
14:04
orange juice inside you can get it by
14:05
the gallon or you can get a 16 o the one
14:08
thing that was interesting is I did ask
14:10
if they had any Disney trading pins like
14:13
the pin you get in the park you know
14:15
have the Mickey and characters and all
14:16
that and they said at the moment they
14:18
don't have any which is interesting
14:20
because out front when they were
14:22
renovating it and they had the stuff
14:24
outside they had some but now they don't
14:26
have them anymore so I don't know what
14:28
the reasoning behind that is or if they
14:30
will ever have them again but I didn't
14:32
see any inside the store itself and I
14:36
ended up getting a 16 o 16 oz orange
14:38
juice and I got a couple products as
14:40
well welcome back orange World on
14:43
Highway
14:44
192 an iconic
14:47
staple landmark of Highway 192 history
14:50
from back in the old days glad it
14:52
survived really glad it
14:54
survived there was a time way back in
14:56
the day this motel that's adjacent to it
14:58
used to be the orange motel or something
15:00
similar called that but is
15:02
basically connected to this affiliated
15:05
with this or at least theming wise was
15:08
affiliated with this next to the Waffle
15:11
House they also have
15:13
watermelon things like
15:19
that look at Mickey eating a slice of
15:19
watermelon down
15:21
here yeah it's kind of weird the last
15:23
year they've just had all kind of stuff
15:25
wedged on this porch it's all gone they
15:28
didn't have they did in fact have
15:30
T-shirts 5 for 10 $2.99 each or 5 for 10
15:33
they had only select rack of them but
15:36
speaking of racks there's nothing on
15:37
this rack no loitering here don't loiter
15:40
the only person that can loiter is the
15:41
orange bird he's right
15:43
here man that is weird not seeing that
15:45
mural fresh squeezed OJ always as tasty
15:48
as ever from here however I ended up
15:50
getting that and I got a little coin
15:52
purse coin change holder for the pocket
15:55
and a little ballpoint pen
16:00
right there they had uh other they had
16:03
other items as well magnets and the
16:05
T-shirt the classic
16:07
t-shirt give yourself a little o j while
16:09
you're here it's
16:15
tasty again
16:15
wow not sure why they chose to paint
16:19
over that but they did
16:30
it's a new era it's an orange bird era
