Wow Brink that is really interesting. So Summerlin Ave is named after him also right? That would make sense since it runs right next to Lake Eola. You're like some kind of Orlando Royalty!

Yeah you're probably right! And royalty? Hahaha I guess that's why I love Orlando so much

The last bit of land that line owned was in the Green Swamp (near Winter Haven). My grandparents owned like 600-700 acres of orange groves which they sold in the late 90's. Sometimes my grandpa would bring back critters he'd find in the groves. My mom has told me stories about how she would come home and find baby gators in the bathtub lol. Makes me kinda glad I'm a city kid!

It can be as recent as the 80's and go back to when it was first settled.
There is so much more to do today in orlando. When I was a kid all there was to do was go to gatorland the beach and made a few trips to six guns in ocala.the rest of the time me and my friends would spend all our free time playing in the orange groves.our fav past time was to dig two big holes about 30 feet apart fill them with oranges split into to teams and thow oranges at each other until somebody got mad and quit or got hurt.those green meanies really sting boy I miss the good ole days
