Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Orange County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913 and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area.
In 1926, Orange County was hit by a hurricane and then by the stock market crash and Great Depression beginning in 1929. Central Florida recovered in the late 1930s and experienced steady growth until 1967. In 1971, Walt Disney World was completed, signaling the beginning of the transformation of the Greater Orlando area into one of the world's major tourist destinations. The citrus industry in the county peaked in the early 1970s, but many groves were destroyed by several freezes during the early 1980s.

Traffic
Description
A report showing the 24-hour average annual traffic data in Orange County, Florida, for 1973. The report was prepared by Cashi Signs, an outdoor advertising company established in 1953.<br /><br />Originally a cattle town, Orlando grew into a major citrus growing center by the 1920s. The city continued to grow during the Great Depression with aid from the Work Progress Administration (WPA). During World War II, Orlando became a major military center as well, with the development of the McCoy Air Force Base and Pinecastle Air Force Base, and with the addition of the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando in 1968. Downtown Orlando declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Redevelopment began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s, with projects such as the Church Street Station entertainment complex. In 1998, a building boom began and continued through the 2000s.

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Orange County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913 and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area.
In 1926, Orange County was hit by a hurricane and then by the stock market crash and Great Depression beginning in 1929. Central Florida recovered in the late 1930s and experienced steady growth until 1967. In 1971, Walt Disney World was completed, signaling the beginning of the transformation of the Greater Orlando area into one of the world's major tourist destinations. The citrus industry in the county peaked in the early 1970s, but many groves were destroyed by several freezes during the early 1980s.

Traffic
Description
A report showing the 24-hour average annual traffic data in Orange County, Florida, for the period of July 1, 1980 to June 30, 1981. The report was prepared by Cashi Signs, an outdoor advertising company established in 1953.<br /><br />Originally a cattle town, Orlando grew into a major citrus growing center by the 1920s. The city continued to grow during the Great Depression with aid from the Work Progress Administration (WPA). During World War II, Orlando became a major military center as well, with the development of the McCoy Air Force Base and Pinecastle Air Force Base, and with the addition of the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando in 1968. Downtown Orlando declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Redevelopment began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s, with projects such as the Church Street Station entertainment complex. In 1998, a building boom began and continued through the 2000s.

Description
A report showing the 24-hour average annual traffic data in Orange County, Florida, for 1983. The report was prepared by Cashi Signs, an outdoor advertising company established in 1953.<br /><br />Originally a cattle town, Orlando grew into a major citrus growing center by the 1920s. The city continued to grow during the Great Depression with aid from the Work Progress Administration (WPA). During World War II, Orlando became a major military center as well, with the development of the McCoy Air Force Base and Pinecastle Air Force Base, and with the addition of the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando in 1968. Downtown Orlando declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Redevelopment began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s, with projects such as the Church Street Station entertainment complex. In 1998, a building boom began and continued through the 2000s.

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Orange County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913 and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area.
In 1926, Orange County was hit by a hurricane and then by the stock market crash and Great Depression beginning in 1929. Central Florida recovered in the late 1930s and experienced steady growth until 1967. In 1971, Walt Disney World was completed, signaling the beginning of the transformation of the Greater Orlando area into one of the world's major tourist destinations. The citrus industry in the county peaked in the early 1970s, but many groves were destroyed by several freezes during the early 1980s.

Transcript
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And then, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>At church.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Got married. Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Met at church.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>First Baptist [Church of Oviedo], and, uh, we moved to the Oviedo area then in about [19]60—67.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Something like that.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Or something like that, and, uh, built a small horse ranch out in the Black Hammock.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And Carolyn [White], uh, had horses, and a pony from the time she was that high, and, uh, always wanted to have one. So then we, um, started that and had, uh, stable there, and, uh, she started riding lessons and trained horses, and had about 50 students a week, didn’t you?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>A long time, and then, it got a little too—more than we wanted, so we moved down, um, to Chapman Road, here in Oviedo, but we’ve been in this area since back in the ‘60s, and, uh, both our boys grew up here and, uh, went to all the schools here, and, um—and they have also stayed in Oviedo, so shows ya it’s a nice place to live.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah, Lars [D.] White is our son.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>He’s Oviedo fire chief, and Don White is our other son, and he lives nearby, but he’s more like standoffish, so [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>So he doesn’t come to the meetings and so on, but he’s still a good person [<em>laughs</em>], but anyway, uh, here we are, and, um, we still love Oviedo. We still have eight acres, and we just love it, and I still teach riding and train horses. Keeps you young [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>We were here when, uh, UCF<a title="">[1]</a> was FTU.<a title="">[2]</a></p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And when they first thought about doing it down—building it down there, and we thought it would end up something like a junior college, or [<em>laughs</em>], you know—now, it’s what? The second largest…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>In the state.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>In the…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>United States.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>It’s unbelievable.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Yeah[?].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>So…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Anyway, there’s a lot of traffic on Alafaya Trail now.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>More than ever, and, um, it’s just grown and everything, but we’ve still stayed the same. We still do what we do, and enjoy it, and—and still love Oviedo. So that’s our story [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[inaudible]. So I’m just going to talk you guys a little bit about the changes you’ve seen in Oviedo, and then…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Just go from there, ‘cause you’ve been here since…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Well…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>The ‘60s.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, there were two-lane roads. There was nothing any larger than that, and…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah, Alafaya…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Most of ‘em…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Trail was.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Were dirt.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Dirt?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, the—Chapman Road, leading up to [<em>clears throat</em>] where our…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Mitchell Hammock [Road]?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Property is, was just, um—it was like a washboard road, and, uh, Oviedo was much, much smaller than—I can’t even give you the size of it, but, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It was…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>It has grown [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It was a farmers’ town.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it was…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>They grew, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Water…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>When we built out in the, um…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Black…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Black Hammock…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>clears throat</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Area, uh, they were growing cabbage, celery…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Watercress.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Watercress on large acreage, and that was the main, uh, products back then. So it has grown now, and of course, with the water situation like it is and everything, most of the farming has moved on out where more water is available, and watercress is down near Lake Okeechobee, where they do have enough water to take care of that.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And lots of orange groves around too.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Lots of orange groves, which there aren’t a lot of those left. Uh, everywhere there was an orange tree, there’s a house now.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But, uh, we still love Oviedo, but, um, we sometimes think we liked it better…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>We like less traffic [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Less traffic, but we do have more conveniences, because here we are, so far out, and when you came from Orlando to Oviedo then, you felt like you were taking a day’s trip.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But you weren’t, but, uh, it was, um—it was nice out here then, but it’s—it’s changed an awful lot. We do like the conveniences of a mall, and…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Publix right around the corner, and—in fact, Carolyn used to ride her horse from where we are on Chapman Road—rode all in the, uh, shoppin’ center area.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>We, uh, ran through Publix.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Used to ride right through Publix.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Right where the bank was, and…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Uh, it—it has grown a lot, and we could take—we could go out the back of our property and, uh, take a, um, hayride and go all in through…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Ceme…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Where the…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>The cemetery.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, the cemetery that was there and the, um—where the shopping center is actually. So we’ve seen it grow a lot. Mitchell Hammock Road is, um, now—what is it? Six lanes?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it’s about…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Just[?]…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Three each way.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Huge [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And, uh, it was just dirt.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>So it’s brought conveniences. It’s brought a lot of problems, and so on, but you can’t get around it. You…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>You have to go with the flow.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>That’s[sic] about sums it up. Don’t ya think, Ed[win White]?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, unless she’s<a title="">[3]</a> got…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Uh, is there anything else you guys would like to add that you—I haven’t covered? [inaudible] you guys have givin’ me a lot of information already, but if there’s something you think you should add, feel free.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Well[?]…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Because you came in 1967 to Oviedo?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>‘Bout ’67, yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Um, what were you doing as a job then? Were you working as well?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>She would—actually, we had the horse farm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>I was—I had, like, 40 students a week. I was—had a lot of business. I mean, everybody wanted their kids to have lessons, and I had adults in the morning, and I taught kids in the afternoon…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>In group lessons and usually had private lessons in the mornin’. So I’ve been doing this for a long time. Kinda know what I’m doing [<em>laughs</em>] by this stage, and I still enjoy it, and I think it keeps, um, the physical—the physicality of it…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Keeps us young. I mean, we’re outdoors all the time, and it’s, um—it’s just part of our lifestyle.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And we live on a small lake,<a title="">[4]</a> and, um, it’s really funny, because when we were looking for property, I was so sick of Black Hammock and it being so wet—very wet. If it rained, it rained in the Black Hammock. We were just indulged[?] with rain, and we just got so tired of it, and so finally, we just wanted to get out of there, and get where it’s high and dry, and that’s why we came over to this side of town, versus being down in the Black Hammock, and we were lookin’ for high-and-dry property, and found it. One of my riding students told us that there was property down the street from them, and so we came and looked and bought it right away, ‘cause we just—we really wanted to be high and dry, and so we just, um—my business followed me over here, and, um, still teach and still trainin’. I just don’t give group lessons anymore, which I gave—I used to do a lot of that. So I still enjoy what I’m doing [<em>coughs</em>], and it keeps us healthy. So we still love Oviedo [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>During that time, we were boarding horses for the people that lived in town also, so—in Orlando and Winter Springs and, uh, Winter Park, and, uh—so that brought a lot of the kids out ever[sic] day after school. They would come out to ride their horses and take their lessons and so on. So…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And[?]</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Both our—both our boys loved having all the girls coming out every afternoon…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>After school [<em>laughs</em>], and it kept the boys at home too.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Because the girls came to them [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>And your—both your sons grew up in Oviedo and attended, uh, the Oviedo schools?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Did they go to Oviedo High School?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yes[?].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And—and the grammar school.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah, and, uh, we—we just fell in love with Oviedo, and we just, um, became more a part of it, being uptown now, not back in the Black Hammock, and, uh, so we’ve enjoyed it a whole lot. We enjoy church here and met a lot of friends in church, and you finally just grow into the community. That’s what happened to us, and we still love it, and we still love what we do. We still keep healthy that way. I keep telling him that [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it’s—it keeps me going and…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>It’s making me healthy.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] Uh, and during that time, we were, um—she was taking care of the boarding and the, uh—and I was an IRS<a title="">[5]</a> agent, so I did that until I retired, and then, um—since I retired, I’m still doing the horses.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>That’s helping.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Not[?] doing me [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>So…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But we’ve met a lot of nice people, and we still run into ‘em occasionally at, uh, the grocery store or something like that, and—so it’s been an interesting life.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Lot of people ask us, “How do you keep so young?” You know, ‘cause we’re physical[sic] good shape, except for my neck [<em>laughs</em>]. So I had an accident, and, um, so I had neck surgery. So the past couple of years has been a little bit rough on me—getting’ over it, but I’ll get over it again. So anyway, we still love what we do. We still love workin’ outdoors. We—we just—I just feel like we’re blessed to have good health.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>I think when you get our age—I mean, goodness—and you’re still goin’ strong, and you’re still able to do physical work, you know, and I don’t think anything by[?] goin’ out and trimmin’ trees and doin’ all kinds of stuff, ‘cuz we’ve always done it, and livin’ on the lake, we had to keep the lake clean. So if—we’ve got that lake pretty well cleaned by now.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>What lake do you guys live on?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It’s, um…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Bath Lake.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Bath Lake.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>B-A-T-H.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It’s kind of a funny name…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Because it’s a smaller lake, but it’s nice, and it’s clear water and everything. So we’ve kept the lake nice and clean, and—and, uh, keep our property up and enjoy it. We—we enjoy our work. So I don’t know how many people can say that at our age.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And even though…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Oviedo is grown so in the traffic and, uh, all the houses [<em>clears throat</em>], we still, on our piece of property, have the deer coming through, um—going from one location to another, and they pass through our property most[sic] every night, and we have the fish out there, and we have all kinds of water birds, and, uh, we, right now are…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>We have…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin</strong> Going through the, uh, sandhill cranes, which have been coming through our property eighty[sic]…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Eight…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Eight years.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Eight or nine years.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And they, each year, have a—an offspring, and so this year right now, they have a little one about that big. Well, [<em>laughs</em>] he’s grown…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Already in a week, and we have, uh, all sorts of animals around, and right now, there’s a, um, [great] blue heron—two blue heron[sic] that have built a nest in the top of a pine tree…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Down…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Down by the lake, and they have offspring in there right now. So…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>They’re huge. Blue…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>There’s always something…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Blue herons.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Exciting happening.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>They’re beautiful birds. They’re huge too. When, you know, they go up there and they build this humongous nest—I mean, it—thing is probably that big.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it looks like an eagle’s nest. It’s so huge.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And they—I know they have at least one—maybe they have two babies in there, but they’re quite noisy, and they’re raising them. So that’s our first for that—with the blue herons puttin’ their nest up there. So the blue herons just hang out at our place. We have eagles once in a while that’ll land, and it’s—it’s just interesting. That pretty well sums it up, I think, Ed?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Well, I thank you guys so much for talking to us and taking out the time to come[?] here.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>This is really nice.</p>

Description
Episode 6 of RICHES Podcast Documentaries: Space, the Cocoa Beach Frontier. RICHES Podcast Documentaries are short form narrative documentaries that explore Central Florida history and are locally produced. These podcasts can involve the participation or cooperation of local area partners. <br /><br />Episode 6 examines the history of the U.S. Space Program in Florida and how the program affected Cocoa Beach. This podcast includes an interview with Lori C. Walters, a professor of history at the University of Central Florida. In the late 1950s, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) began constructing launch pads and towers on Florida's east coast as the "Missile Firing Laboratory." On July 1, 1962, NASA activated the Launch Operations Center, which was renamed the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in 1963. KSC has been the United States' launch site for every human space flight since 1968. In 2011, the Space Shuttle program ended, which resulted in the KSC workforce downsizing significantly.
Abstract
In this podcast, Dr. Lori Walters from the University of Central Florida history department discusses interesting tidbits about the city of Cocoa Beach and the ways in which it was affected by the missile and space races from the 1950s onward.

Oviedo Wants to Keep Lower Tolls

Oviedo (Fla.)
Winter Springs (Fla.)
Tolls--United States
Description
A newspaper article published in <em>The Oviedo Voice</em> on January 2, 2003. According to the article, city officials from Oviedo and Winter Springs were lobbying the Central Florida Expressway Authority to continue offering discounted tolls to drivers using the Central Florida GreeneWay (Florida State Road 417). The Florida Turnpike Enterprise conducted a study to determine how many residents were using SR 417 to travel between Oviedo and Winter Springs. The study found that fewer than 200 riders used the bypass daily. However, the number may be inaccurate, as only drivers using the Sun-Pass (formerly called the E-Pass) were counted.
