Statements like this totally befuddle me, as whenever I'm in Orlando its' downtown impresses me as lively, relatively clean for a urban center, and full of things to do. Lake Eola Park has always been one of my favorite downtown parks.

I know people are crazy.

El Paso is anything but clean... It is the pitfall of Texas...

What makes Lake Eola so great? It is a sink hole lake with a walking path around it.

The 45 people who voted for El Paso must love, out dated, boring, small, dirty cities.

I've never been to Orlando but it seems like it has a lot more to do than El Paso. El Paso seems boring. plus it's really isolated

Wow, you really hate Orlando that much? Jeez. Lake Eola is an absolutely beautiful park with great views of the city.

Honestly, some of these posts are disgusting to me. Why do some posters have such a vendetta against Orlando? It's beautifully kept, has lively neighborhoods, and is home to some of the most magical theme parks on Earth. Earlier it was mentioned that Disney World is "decaying".. give me a break. Not much else in this country is as well-kept as Disney is.

What is "culture" anyway? Orlando has farmers markets, festivals, theatre, parks and gardens, local restaurants and world-class shopping. It's such a shame people don't realize what a gem this city is. Oh well.. it's better off left to the people who really love it

I have never been to Orlando but I have noticed that people like to bash it. Just ignore them. people bash my city and L.A a lot and come up with the most absurd arguments.
