Orlando...If you wanna see pics of a normal day!!!! (Altamonte Springs: trip , work)

[THASPECIAL]

This is a thread with lots of pics i took on my trip to the doctor's office in Longwood. I live down in the I-Drive area, and I started taking pics around 1pm when we left I-Drive, and we got to Longwood at about 2:10pm then I took pics on the way back as well.

These pics are for newcomers or people who don't know about Orlando and what it looks like. Hope this gives a better insight into how things look as locals talk about the trip up and down I-4 everyday...Hope everyone enjoys these pics.

You have captured a typical day on Orlando roads perfectly. For anyone thinking about moving here and will be commuting around Orlando, this is good info. This is why I work on the outskirts of Orlando and live in Lake County.
