Impress me Orlando strip mall Mexican
Ok. Place is legit good. If you ever around sea world or SE Orlando. Go to Taco Express
Best strip mall Mexican since El Paso. Only needs Draft beer.
Hype them one more time since they deserve it.

(9785 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando)
Afterwards you can attend service next door here. If that is your thing.
Wait. Is this the same black Hebrew crew from NYC?

So begins my 17 miles across Orlando. In a McDonald’s with a homeless guy & fashionable Japanese tourist. Different place (grew up near here) then where else I walked so far. Less planned, more ad hock dealing with growth

If I make it will end up somewhere north of here tonight
Post coup, Official name is now Democratic People’s Republic of Chocolate
Man. I just wanna be kept dry & out of sun. Not part of some art project to pretend most of the area doesn’t have the feel of an airport grounds

Had my Substack for a month, & so far got a lot of nice feedback

When i started it didn’t known where exactly I would take it, but now I do

I am going to focus on the walking America series & since I do more in these towns than just walk expand it from just short essays 1/
So in addition to a short essay about what I saw/thought walking across X, I will add some things like “best dive bar in X” & “best strip mall ethnic food in X”, best McDonald’s

My tastes are not about best food or best IPA, but about best vibe, “ambiance, & community 2/
I don’t want it to be a normal travel thing, but I am a traveler, so. It can’t be entirely not that

Also, I will be expanding to stuff outside of US, as COVID restrictions lesson. Like walking in Quito, Istanbul, & Bucharest. And hopefully eventually a long walking in Vietnam 3/

I wrote about walking through Breezewood. You know, that place the internet loves to hate.

You know. This place
Anyways. Join my Substack, where I write about long walks though American cities.

It’s free. Which makes it a deal.

Not sure you can begin a South Carolina walk with a more South Carolina-y scene (Palmetto tree sadly fallen & out of picture) Image

What you hear about COVID vaccine, when traveling around, is off the wall stuff. Constantly, without asking, people offer up their views. It is like 180 degrees different from what you read in press, partly because they want to own the press. But weirder then that
I don’t wanna wade into the issue because it brings out intense takes, but suffice it to say 30%-ish of population isn’t even close to the same wavelength as current scientific view on vaccination.

Not even in same ballpark. And it ain’t just right wing Trump types. Not at all
What is most striking to me, having spent 12 years doing this type of stuff, is how people start talking about it to me. Without me bringing it up.

They want me, & others to know, they don’t plan on getting vaccinated. It has become a core part of their identity.

Next installment of Walking America? Breezewood Pa!

Fifteen miles, two days, in the most mem-ed small city in America.

Coming tomorrow (assuming I am not rained out)
I spent a lot of time in these type of truck stop/rest-stop towns. I call them places of "permanent transients."

They are some of the most unique places in the US.
Gots a McDonald’s, Dunkin, Flying J. What more do I need. Here I come, torrential downpour or not
