Florida's Small Town Sunshine

It’s an image that lingers in the American consciousness like a soft, warm dream: Oak-lined courthouse squares. Gazebos and band shells. One-chair barber shops. Vest-pocket cemeteries. The town café, gossip for breakfast and meatloaf for lunch. Old-time movie theaters, with one screen and a real marquee and popcorn with genuine butter. In Florida, this is no dream, if you know where to look. It’s small-town downtown life, as it was and as it remains.
