I remember visiting my grandparents in sleepy little Mt. Dora in 1967. They were so upset reading and hearing about Walt Disney World. Even though they lived miles away, they were sure it would ruin their very calm, quiet lifestyle. It was a big deal to drive into Orlando for shopping and always eat at Morrisons Cafeteria.

Most schools and FTU had portable buildings for classrooms in 68 ! Winter Park and area very pricey and a neat place to go to the movies. We had bookmobiles to the neighborhood I never went to the main library you could request some books . Trips to the beaches definitely a plus !

If you didn't live here back during that time then you don't realize what *very SUDDENLY made Florida nice to live in.* In the 1950s *window unit A/C "boxes"* came onto the market. When I was born here in 1962 we had one, just 1 unit in my parent's bedroom. When I was 5 or 6 it was a really big deal when we also installed a unit in our living room. When my parents got divorced the first place we moved to had no A/C at all and so I fully understand why people didn't want to live here before A/C!

Love knowing what came before born here in 72'. The most amazing city as a child to grow up in. It was all brand new, less populated, all orange, citrus groves, Mickey, Minnie and Space Shuttle launches. We then watched Epcot start building a big, silver globe and the Orlando Magic did not even exist. We had the Citrus/ Tangerine Bowl, beaches 45 min away and the Minnesota Twins minor league team at Tinker Field, military base, Manatees, people from all over, everywhere either moving down or just visiting. And those Superfriend /Hatfield and McCoy shows were too. Nobody was crying about Shamu either. We were amazed and usually soaked after watching the shows from up close. Truly a Magical City Beautiful.

@@mixtapemania6769 Eatonville and Parramore are the only two historically black neighborhoods I know of in Orlando, and these communities remained pretty segregated. There's a reason why I4 was built in between Parramore and downtown. Eventually they began to spread out in the 70's and 80's and occupy Pine Hills, OBT, and other areas. And PR's begain to move in around the 80's and 90's I believe, occupying Kissimmee and Clermont. My mom's parents came in the 90's

@@mixtapemania6769 There were practically no Latinos in Orlando until about 1987~, maybe 0.5-1% when this film was made. Orlando in the 1960's was about 25% black, 55% native old-stock southerners originally from Georgia, Alabama, etc., 15% recent immigrants from the north and 5% immigrants from England, Sweden, Ireland, etc. Orlando back then was really a southern city, not unlike those you see in Alabama and the Carolina's, at least demographically speaking. A lot of Orlandoans, maybe most, had that Florida accent you still hear in the rural recesses of the state. The black neighborhoods in 1965 were Eatonville, with about 1,000 souls, Winter Park's west side with about 4-5,000, Parramore and callahan, maybe 10,000, washington shores 2-5,000. There were rural blacks in the highlands west of the city and in Orlovista and some concentrated south in Pine Castle and of course the nearby seperate cities like Winter Garden and Oakland had their own sections. The city has changed unbelievably in the past thirty years, it's extremely diverse and much larger, and there are both positives and negatives to that. Hopefully that helps you out, a lot of the numbers work are just guesses, I was born long after those times. I'm sure there's accurate data from the census bureau but i'm too lazy to dig it out.

WHY is it that certain whites have such issue with all non-whites?? First the land is dangerous due to the NATIVE, red people, so you’ll put them on reservations, took away their land, and killed anyone who You felt stepped out of line. Then you all need slaves and servants and so you ship Africans over and treat them like animals. The moment that we get our freedom and (ever so slightly) move up in the world, y’all partake in “white flight” to try and make sure you keep segregation going. Now comes the new wave of immigrants from Latin countries. Suddenly all the problems are pinned on Latinos and certain groups of white people are scrambling to try and get them kicked out........... or if worse comes to worse, shoot up groups of them in Walmarts. It’s amazing that with every non-white race that comes here, Certain people rush to place inaccurate and stereotypical labels upon them, and scrambling to “take care” of them and the problem. All of that is so unnecessary.
