July 2003 - Poll Results |
|
We asked you what your favorite kind of food
is and the results are as follows. Like most of us, you like the foods
that taste good and the categories selected most frequently were
American (steaks, hamburgers) and Italian (pasta, pizza). I’m getting
hungry just thinking about it. Salads, Oriental and Mexican cuisine were
the next highest kind of foods selected. Finally, French dining and
sandwich menus were the least preferred kind of foods based upon the
feedback we received. We plan to incorporate this feedback into our
newsletter and try to write more restaurant articles based on your
preferences very soon. As always, we appreciate the feedback you provide
in the Polls as it helps us align our information according to your
needs.

Enjoy a Trip Back to the "Good Old
Days" |

Taking a Stroll Down Memory Lane...
How many of you can remember the days when
we would spend a warm, summer evening at an amusement park, then
complete the evening with a visit to the local hamburger or ice cream
shop? We would challenge each other to “ride the roller coaster if you
dare”, and try our luck at knocking over the “milk bottles” to win cheap
prizes. The ice cream sodas were a quarter, and you could play Bill
Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock” on the jukebox for a dime.
Fortunately, there are still a few places
today that carry the 50’s and 60’s theme, so we can still enjoy a frosty
ice cream soda and listen to some of our favorite old songs. Of course,
the prices will never be the same, but the songs and the décor can
transport us back in time.

“Cruise” On Over To Dead River Vic’s
There
aren’t too many restau-rants that are approachable by both auto and
private boat - but Dead River Vic’s is one of them!
Deeply
embedded in the cypress trees and massive, moss-covered oaks along the
Dead River in Tavares, Dead River Vic’s offers a wide variety of dining
opportunities. In addition to the regular daily menu, the restaurant
features a number of very attractive specials. For example, their
southern Sunday morning brunch includes eggs, soup and salad bar,
shrimp, chicken, fresh cuts of meat, vegetables and dessert bar. From
noon to 7 PM on Sundays, you can also enjoy an old-fashioned BBQ with
steaks, ribs, wings, and a large variety of sandwiches.

Feeling
Right at Home, Right Away!
When Ron and Barbara Cenderelli arrived at Royal Harbor for the first
time, they had a strong feeling that this was the community for them.
After seeing the shimmering backdrop of Little Lake Harris, the
lighthouse at the top of the hill, and all of the amenities at the new
Recreation Center, they were convinced that their search for a
retirement home had ended.
Ron and Barbara lived in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (which happens to be
the same town that Perry Como and Bobby Vinton came from), which is
located near Pittsburgh. They lived for a short time in Boston, MA, then
Denville, NJ, and finally moved back to the town of Yardley, PA.

Florida Parks & Springs |
|
There is no better way to relax both mind and body than to spend some
leisure time enjoying nature. Visiting Florida’s State Parks and Springs
provides an opportunity to both tourists and residents to see first-hand
what is often referred to as ”The Real Florida”.
There are over 156 state parks that cover almost 600,000 acres, from the
western tip of the panhandle to Key West. Pennekamp State Park, located
off Key Largo, is the nation’s first underwater park. These
well-preserved areas have retained the natural beauty of Florida that
Ponce DeLeon saw when he discovered this lush peninsula over 400 hundred
years ago and named it for the Spanish “Feast of Flowers”.
