  • On this episode of Roadside Attractions & Abandoned Places I explore Florida orange grove country. The forgotten and very quiet town of Aturas and West Lake Wales. Also, a telephone pole Railroad yard, and an abandoned 1980s car wash on the south side of Lakeland! There’s much ahead!

    One of the oldest citrus farms is closing in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. I guess a lot of the orange groves are dealing with citrus greening.

    That's cool that the railroad crossing still says SBDRR, that's the Seaboard System, now part of CSX. If you want to know about railroad stuff in Florida, Distant Signal is a great channel.

    I wonder what these places looked like at their peak. Like when the RR ran near that packing house with dozens of people working there. Just fascinates me. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your acting debut. Hope you don't get addicted to those candy cigarettes. You might need the patch to help you kick that habit. 😊

    I could have sworn you wee doing something like this well before 2020, like it was your "OLD FLORIDA" film series, that is how i found you on your channel, "bloody bucket bridge" was my first for you, during Halloween season 2017 i believe, but after that you were introducing your videos as "OLD FLORIDA", but this is a good combo though, we are getting both old, and old abandoned places at the same time. i don't think you'll run out of content.
