We’re here now, followed your advice…cocoa village is super cute! Btw, the warbird museum would be a great add. Did that today and it was really cool! Thanks for all your videos 😊

I live in Orlando but I'm always in Brevard to see family and have fun. As a person who has been all over our state, Brevard county is the best overall representation of every aspect of what Florida truly is. This is a great list and I would also suggest for people: Boating in the Indian and/or Banana River, shopping in Viera and visiting Florida's best zoo, the Brevard Zoo. 😊

I’m so fortunate and proud to call Brevard my home. I love my new County so much.

Being born in Titusville in 1965, I always feel blessed and privileged to have experienced so much space history. It all became surreal when I worked at the Kennedy Space Center. Standing on top of the VAB roof as well as my work taking me the shuttle landing facility, astronaut’s beach house, launch pads, Launch Control Center etc. I lived a dream. I still live here and enjoy being woken up in the middle of the night by a rocket launch. I still run outside to watch. A memorable moment for me was hearing the sonic booms for the first time as the space shuttle returned from space, so scary and exhilarating at the same time.

A couple of nights ago the huge Falcon 9 went up. I could physically feel it and my slider was rattling 😮. I’m fortunate to live beachside.

Great video Chad ,My wife Pam and I I MOVED AWAY FROM OUR HOMES IN Miami, where i lived since 1946 ,iv can truly say Iv seen it change! I remember many many things that are long gone forever, I'm an old diver and seen the sea change (not for the best) the ocean at good OLD south beach was blue now green, the many many stories i can tell you about what happened on the long gone concrete pier and jetties,, the fish id caught ,the Old Jewish people singing on the pier, the band shell, the dog track once there ,the long gone stores across the street. The bar at the south end the New York bakeries in the middle the pharmacy at the north end where id ate many Decious meals at its counter .. The eagles that lived on the island (gone) south of the jetties, especially the beautiful sand that is long gone from all the beach's ,that would fall off you once you dried ,it was so soft had shiny specks in it, I can also tell you exactly what happened to it!!! the truth is the owners of the long gone hotels that lined the sea shore complained to the stupid mayor then about the smelly barriers that were in place from the sea shore into the water some 100 feet to help slow down the naturally flowing current from south to North ,he (the mayor) had them removed, then the hurricane's cand and all the beautiful sandy beach's were GONE and the seas waves were SLAPPING the hotels because no more beach,, the stupid hotels owners once again complained to the mayor who in turn contacted the Army Corps to help replace the sand which the did by sucking up the sand far from shores and pumping it to the beach's all along the shores ,the problem was this sand had coral rocks and peace's of shells and the beautiful beach's were gone forever! I remember it well and while walking along the shores i picked up some beautiful corals along with some petrified pieces or crabs, I still have in my collections. Dino Sclafani.

Here now - it's relaxing but not a lot to do.

[@cra2cra226]

lol. This video just listed some things to do. Do those, then report back, m'kay?

[@denisehill5836]

Good info. I lived in Miami ft.lauderdale for years and moved here the people were not friendly to me as I suggested a new causeway from palm bay at Malabar rd making it easy access to beaches. It totally passed off a lot of people and I got bad attitudes from many at work etcetera. It is boring here and in desperate need of a face-lift as old buildings and limited shopping exist. Although it is beautiful in certain areas. Vieira reminds me of Kendall in miami.this is not Miami at all it is old time Florida so really thi k before .owing here. School are behind and slow in education.

Observation tower closed. Buddha place is soo small...that is not really worth it.

[@stacielewis6953]

Corporate and state interests interfere with quality goods and services. Also, need to remove black magic.@@ChadGallivanter
