Drained after four days of government writing with thoughts toward the weekend: — Strawberry Festival! Need I say more? Floral City and Floral Park are the places to be this weekend for the 36th annual Floral City Strawberry Festival. I love the Strawberry Festival — who doesn’t? — and we need it. We need the distraction, we need the fun, we need to get out in the sun on an un-winter-like winter day. Crystal Oaks Drive has a popularity problem. If you’re not sure where Crystal Oaks is, it’s a few feet from the Suncoast Parkway on-ramp at State Road 44. Anyone getting off the parkway looking for the quickest drive to U.S. 19 takes a left onto Crystal Oaks Drive and it’s about 7 minutes (I timed it Wednesday) to the Home Depot. Coming the other way, it’s an easy route to the parkway. |
