I love that place. I never went to that restaurant–I avoid I Drive–but yeah, I’ve gone to Redlight, at least when it was across from Dexter’s (which is where I’m having my b-day lunch tomorrow). I haven’t been since they moved, but some of my work friends are regulars there. ---

Found this article this morning about things to do in Orlando besides theme parks: [http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/travel/06hours-orlando.html?hpw](http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/travel/06hours-orlando.html?hpw) So many of the places and people mentioned in that article are so familiar to me. The author hit the “other Orlando” right on the head. She gives a shout-out to my buddies Mark and Lorna at the Red Fox (one of my favorites) and recommends Wally’s, Will’s, Stardust, and the Ravenous Pig! I think she’s been following me around . . . ---

I’ve taken out of state visitors on the Midway airboat rides (about halfway between Orlando and Titusville on 50) and have always had a blast. ---

[Wally’s](http://www.facebook.com/wallysonmills) might be the single best thing about this whole city. And it’s 400 feet from my office! 🙂 ---

And it’s 400 feet from my office! 🙂 Yikes, we’re sort of neighbors, too . . . the wallpaper at Wally’s is worth the trip alone–that and the bang-for-your-buck drinks. ---

I live in Oviedo, though. I just do my working and drinking here. 🙂 ---

Oh man yeah, I miss Wally’s. I remember getting a LIIT there for 4 bucks or so that really kicked my ass. Gooood times. ---
