Man I’ve been living here for a while and while I have gotten attached to it, it is such an old person city. There’s almost nothing fun to do. I mean this video is proof

[@doriancruz2360]

You are absolutely the best guide to discover Florida. We love all of your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@ChadGallivanter]

Thank you for the kind words!

Great video. Lakeland is real swan 🦢 city. Make it clean and green, this is our city.

[@robertowens8263]

Enjoy your videos. Visiting Lakeland for two weeks the last half of April.

The Polk Theater, old fashion drama to see, is one of my favorites.

[@helgabullabong]

38 lakes!! That's more than the Lake District here in the UK has! Lol. Loved the Swan story. Another awesome place. Cheers

[@ChadGallivanter]

Thank you for highlighting my Hometown Lakeland, Florida A.K.A. Swan City/L-TOWN.......A pretty cool place.....

Come on Chad what a rookie move on the beignets. Bro you are a vet at this🤣

[@ChadGallivanter]

Beignets are a rare treat in our household. Good thing for my wardrobe.

All over Lakeland there are swan statues painted in unique designs. Fun to look for the different ones

The air museum and spring fly-in. Spring break for pilots is Sun n Fun one of the largest air shows every spring.

My parents lived in Lakeland for thirty years or so. They used to love taking the adult kids and grandkids to feed the ducks and swans at the lakes downtown. My dad worked at the Publix market at Southgate as a “courtesy guy” helping to bag groceries and help old ladies to the car. My dad was in his late 80s ! (By the way, there is a photo of Southgate plaza in the Smithsonian museum of American history)

We are coming to Orlando at the end of February for a week. We are going to squeeze in a day and go to Lakeland. It's been ages since I have been there. Another great video!!

[@ChadGallivanter]

No beach, what a drag.

Looking to move there or maybe Winterhaven. Another top notch video. What microphone do you use ?

[@ChadGallivanter]

Thanks. I use a variety of microphones. Any particular video segment?
