Going about Orlando, nostalgia sometimes puts me in a frame of mind that I can recall something from years ago about most places. And, yes, Orlando's growth is progress because it has gone from a small if pleasant city of limited opportunities to a major metropolitan area abundant with services, amenities, and opportunity.
Orlando is becoming something like a cross between LA and Las Vegas. My guess is that casino gambling is eventually coming to the area as well.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see casino gambling in Orlando in the future. Is it allowed in Florida yet? I haven’t kept up with that.
