The propeller airliner seen at 5:55 is an Eastern Airlines, Douglas DC-7B which first entered service with EAL in 1955. Curiously, the interior of Eastern's "sevens" was designed by Harley Earl, then Vice President in charge of styling for General Motors. Nice, vintage film of Orlando before it greatly changed due to "the mouse." Thanks for sharing!

McCoy Air Force base became Orlando international airport while Orlando military base became the college park neighborhood. Unfortunately college park still digs up the occasional piece of forgotten military equipment which has to be turned over to the police for proper disposal or exploding.
That Minute Maid plant was moved to the industrial zone of Orlando while the old building was repurposed into a live theatre for music. Now it’s been abandoned since that shooting many years ago. The city has no clue what to do with it. Although it sits in the trendy milk district. Citrus moved a little south but not that much ever since the big citrus freeze of the 60s. You however see a lot of innovation in that industry via the grocery store and citrus world on international drive. It’s also in the restaurant business as Orlando is becoming a foodie paradise. What, I might be young but I know my central Florida history well.
I know about the back to back freezes of 1894-95 and the two in 1983 and 1989 spelled the end of citrus crops in the central FL area. The 1960’s doesn’t ring any bells! I really miss the smell of the Orange Blossoms every spring! Florida hasn’t changed but the American people sure have! The innocence of those times is sorely missed.
Everyone has a ball in FLL, love it... Old promotional vlogs should be brought back.. these kids could use some culture from the CRAP they see today...
