My title is just a bit of an exaggeration.....just a bit because there were no burning cars and no overnights in the snow. On Monday of this week I was returning from a few days of playing in...

Pros: Strong drinks, killer music, clean loo.
Cons: Any cover charge, no matter how small, is a con.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I cut my hair. A mere trim, you may inquire. To which I would say, "Trim? Huh! I think not." I cut all the hair on my pretty little head, with the exception of a few inches, off. This may seem to you to be of little...

Pros: Good food, friendly people, lots to do at night
Cons: Recent renovations are not always on par with what has been replaced

Living in Orlando, people often assume that you have the chance to go to Disney everyday. Little do they realize that Disney is actually about 20 minutes from the "real" downtown, and it is too expensive and tourist oriented for many of the people who...

Pros: the best food ever
Cons: um, you do have to pay for it, but not pay too much

Orlando, if lacking soul, has some really great food. I'm going to tell you about it.

Houston's: this is a chain, though not a franchise, so the quality does not vary so much. Me, my family, and friends adore Houston's. It's totally...

Cons: The women aren't totally nude and they don't allow lap dances

I live in NYC and travel to Orlando frequently. Normally, I stay at a Disney World resort and never set foot off Disney property while I'm there. I just spent a week there and visited downtown Orlando for the first time.

I was impressed with...

Pros: Wonderful (and quaint) if you know where to go
Cons: That whole tourist end of town

Let's get something straight here folks: As an Orlando resident, I don't especially like tourists. You get lost, clog up the roads, and lower my property values. However thanks to your money I don't have to pay a state income tax. Because of this I...

Pros: fun, mouse-free
Cons: still crowded

When me and my college roommate took a trip to Florida, we were ready for a week of Disney, Disney, Disney. However that takes money, money, money, and we are college students. Plus, that happy mouse can get on your nerves after a while. We went to...

Pros: Beats staying in your hotel room for the night.
Cons: Serious safety considerations.

Church Street Station, located in Downtown Orlando, is rapidly losing its luster, its popular nightclubs (Orange Avenue) and its visitors (both tourists and "locals").

The Orlando Police Department has had to "beef up" its cruiser, bicycle and...

Pros: fun for family or kids
Cons: expensive, crime ridden

Orlando- the middle of Florida and home of Disney World. I being a native of Florida, have been all over Orlando. Though you traveling to Orladno may not have that long to visit all of O-towns highlights.

But for those who seek a more adult...

Pros: fun, tons of stuff to see and do, exciting nightlife
Cons: bad parking, bums everywhere asking for spare change, crack heads on Parramore avenue

Downtown Orlando is pretty cool, It is more expensive in parts to live there. There is tons of stuff to do and see. There are also things that tourists do not really see.

Most people know about the exchange on Church Street. It is a building...

Pros: Worth Seeing Once
Cons: expensive, not much to ride, too many stores

We went to Disney World and Orlando in the Middle of March this year. WE wanted to see the Millenium Celebration. I had heard so much about this place that we had to go.

Pros: Bar selection
Cons: No jay-walking

Downtown Orlando... more than just Church Street... extending down Orange Avenue more than 10 blocks to the famous and infamous Club at Firestone... That's right, an old tire warehouse converted in to a 2 story high energy dance club. For most that's...

Pros: Lots of great clubs, shopping and views of downtown
Cons: Shopping and eating can be pricey

Being a native of Orlando, I have seen everything there is to do in Orlando including Disney (which is not Orlando technically).
Most tourists never venture out of Disney areas but there is really a great town to be seen north of Disney!!! Downtown...
