Weeki Wachee Springs - Florida kitsch
Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a Florida "institution," it's biggest attraction being "live" mermaids. It may be a little old, and a little tacky and run-down, but people from all over the world still come to visit and to watch mermaids swim around in a tank of water.
We visited a couple of weeks ago, but the park closed just as we got there (3 pm)...so we weren't able to get inside to get a closer look.
For more information on this park which survives as part of Florida's past (before Disney), click here.

Marion County Schools - headquaters
The Marion County Schools building is located in the old downtown area. It's a fairly large district with about 30 elementary schools, eight middle schools and eight high schools. It also operates a variety of other schools such as charter and technical schools.
The building is guarded in front by this colorful horse - one of the 55 plus horses around the area which are part of Ocala's "Horse Fever."

Stumpknockers
It may not look like much, but Stumpknockers is one of the more famous restaurants in North Central Florida. Located on the Withlacoochee River, it caters to a diverse crowd and from what we've been told, the food is excellent!
