Terry likes his seclusion so I think there should be an orgnaized camp-in. It would include loud motorcycles, loud music, and wild & loud all night parties. Burn-out competition at 2:00am would be nice, would help lull he and Iris back to sleep. I'd travel back down just for such a gathering.
Anything to help you out Terry.
As for ideas for a place to live....stay away from central Florida; Orlando metro in particular and anywhere from the east coast to 50 miles west of Orlando. South isn't too bad below the Kissimmee area, but you need to be generally north & west of Ocala to start enjoying some space to live. I moved to Orlando in January '67 and it was a nice area, not too crowded and not a real cosmopolitan feel. Then along came Dizzy World, Sea World, and Universal Studios. I-4 had recently been completed and you could drive from the Sanford area to past Orlando in 15-20 minutes tops. None of the 4+ lane highways through and around Orlando existed except I-4, highway 436 was a quiet 4-lane that ended at what's now Howell Branch Road. Before Disney, the Orlando population was a little over 200,000 which was around 1960-61. By the time Disney opened around '71, the population was over a half-million and grew to over 2 million by the end of the teens decade. Those are figures for just Orlando proper and doesn't include the total metro area. In 2019 I had to move to the Green Bay area, not even half the spread of Orl., I can drive to the airport 7 miles away in about 15 minutes at rush hour. Or another a/p 25 miles south in less time than it took to drive to Orl. Int'l. 12 miles away. My point is...the Orlando metro area is analogous to 10 lbs. of crap in a 5 lb. bag. Nice hospitals though.
