Florahome Florida is changing. Even as these words are being typed, workers are already on the job making Florida State Road 100 a lot smoother traveling through Florahome. There are other changes taking place as well - some of them, like the newly opened
Dollar General or the
bike trail scheduled to come through Florahome in 2011 already making the pages of this blog. Change however, is not always easy to swallow and may be especially hard for those in the area who have lived here a good while or others fortunate enough to have lived here all their life. They can still remember waving to Mr. Sykes as they passed through Grandin, hearing the whistle of a train up where the new bike trail is supposed to come through, buying an RC and a Moonpie from Miz Tyre or maybe a beautiful Camelia at Carnes Nursery where the Dollar General now sits. Like it or not though, change is just a fact of life and Florahome, Florida like everything else is changing and will continue to do so. The time may come when even blogs like Florahome USA will be replaced by some service leaving information on Florahome, nothing more than just the dry basic facts. Hopefully though and with the support and contributions of those in and around Florahome who remember the old Florida, Florahome USA while it's still on the web, can at least help make these changing times taste a little less like a rice cake and just a little bit more like a Moonpie.
