Once upon a time, before the giant mouse ate Orlando and Interstate Highways were built to cattle chute the tourists directly into International Drive, there was another Florida. It was somewhere between Henry Ford’s mass production of the Model-T, which made automobile touring a commonplace, and Walt Disney’s mass production of the tourist experience, which made the road trip a mere way to get there, instead of the there itself.
