...and I would venture to say that it will be open for a while before the DTO location opens.

Shame they couldn't make I-4 just a little wider.

Stumbled upon this cool speakeasy downtown; BellHop - Angebilt Hotel

Great photos! 

Pride seemed like a success this year (at least from my hideout at Casey's). Awesome weather, well organized, generally positive vibe. Definitely downtown at its best (despite SunRail not running...). I was also impressed that the street cleaners came within 10 minutes of the parade ending to clean up a lot of the stuff thrown from the floats.

There are quite a few of these nicer bars that have opened up around downtown recently. I love them, great vibes, especially during the week. And downtown was beautiful for pride this weekend, busy, yet organized. One of the better ones, yet with people visiting from all over.

The UMC van...it is true.  JC loves everyone.  How the (not to get off topic) extreme derecho pushed that narrative so many decades ago is beyond me.  They will pay for that, you know, turning people off to JC because of one's own BS is probably the worst thing someone can do in life. He is not gonna be happy about that. So, apply what UMC stated to all denominations.

I'm trying to not blindly criticize everything involving DTO and remain objective. In the spirit of not overreacting and remembering that Orlando isn't NYC, am I wrong in still saying that this "art" is cr*p?

probably not...

Oh my God.

Looks like a construction material delivery truck took the corner too fast and its load fell off. 

Every time you think it can't get any worse....    

[jrs2]

^^

Um, you said fast, load, & off

Funny, because at first glance, I thought it was a picture of the rainbow bird house tear down.

wow. is that a triangular tower?  That's massive.  That's over 45 stories

[dcluley98]

It is 400 Central and is an oval.  They actually have 2 developments over 40 stories under construction right now.  (and several others over 15-20). 

[Ivanhoe]

And the Waldorf residences just approved will stand at 49 floors or 525 feet:

This would rise on the southern edge of downtown by the Dalí Museum.
