    I love your video presentations of some of these old towns. I wish that you had some of my hometown, Auburndale, Florida or Winter Haven or Lakeland. I was born in Lakeland, grew up in Auburndale which was situated right between Lakeland and Winter Haven. You should be able to find some old photos of Cypress Gardens which was in Winter Haven and is now Legoland. Thanks!
