We don't call that downtown here... That's Cocoa Village

[@mattjean2652]

The tour doesn't count unless you go down Clearlake Rd. and Peachtree St.

[@TamraAdnan786]

I was hoping to see Peachtree and Clearlake, downtown is nothing special lol but I loved in Cocoa in 1997 and was killed in a car accident in Peachtree (obviously I'm alive now lol)

[@mattjean2652]

@@TamraAdnan786 Your reply sounds like a Cocoa reply...ghost of Peachtree. There are many. Boulevard of broken dreams...and on and on...

[@mcarp555]

I grew up in Cocoa and left twenty years ago. It's changed so much, but also so little.

[@brendatuck6871]

I agree too. I also lived there in Cocoa. Before i moved 20 + year's ago.

[@carlito7274]

Great video! Thanks much for letting me see this wonderful place without (me) actually being there...

[@MileageMikeTravels]

You’re welcome

[@sandragibbs5667]

Thanks for this vid. My sister worked in Cocoa. Brings back good memories.

[@jeffarmstrong3260]

Cool video I love it

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

Any change you could do a drive through for Port St. Lucie? That would be great! Or at least Oviedo

[@MileageMikeTravels]

I have a video coming on Oviedo, haven't decided what day to put it out. Port St. Lucie I could possibly do on the way from the Miami area depending on how much time I have.

[@silverhawk24]

Nice video mike your videos are so relaxing what was your favorite part of Florida you drove through

[@MileageMikeTravels]

So far Tampa Bay area. St. Petersburg in particular.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

@N Diesal not sure. I’m a millennial.

[@coffeeNTrees]

would love a video from 417 to 528 out to cocoa beach.

[@onlyanimedrawingsonly]

I live in cocoa

[@landonvazquez1404]

Never been to downtown Cocoa before but I’ve been past it on I-95. Home of the infamous Ron Jon Surf Shop!

[@pottedmeat3235]

Ron Jon's is in Cocoa Beach which is about 10-12 miles east of downtown Cocoa. Cocoa & Cocoa Beach are near each other, but are two different cities separated by an island known as, Merritt Island and two bridges that cross two major waterways, the Indian & Banana rivers, respectively.

[@carmenvanessa4451]

I worked at Ron jons surf shop until the pandemic.. Born in cocoa beach and lived in Merritt Island my whole life until October 2021!

[@laurenlux5506]

I love living here

[@stopmotionking49]

drive diwn in formancourt in cocoa florida i use to live there

[@mariabaird4727]

Now try taking that drive through Cocoa not the beaches.

[@mcarp555]

What?

[@jfiorello68]

He was never beachside in this video. Started on Merritt Island, crossed south into Rockledge very briefly. The rest was in Cocoa on the mainland.

[@mcarp555]

@@jfiorello68 Exactly. I think instead of wandering around the back streets of Rockledge, he should have gone up US1 to Byrd Plaza, turned left onto Dixon, then right on Clearlake to Michigan Ave. That would have been more of Cocoa proper. So I don't know why Maria seemed to think it was at the beach.

[@mcarp555]

@N Diesal You mean Poinsett? That's serious Rockledge. Or do you mean just south of King St.?

[@mariahisthe1]

@@mcarp555 is it bad?

[@monkeybuttslap]

The beige building on the right at 23:53 is the old Gannett Newspaper building. It would later be known as Florida Today and USA Today newspapers.
