Yes, Jimbo... 🤣

I liked RusTeak, but it's been a few years. I don't even think it's still there.

All of them. Adds an extra three hours onto the trip.

Pizza Bruno in College Park is the ONLY location I listed that I have not yet been to.

1. Pizza Bruno (both Curry Ford and College Park, they make different styles) 2. John & John's 3. SoDough Square 4. Buttercrust 5. Brad's Underground Pizzeria 6. Piggza Thank me later.

YES! Completely true.

I also like SoDough a lot. Several good pizza choices south of downtown. But @SWFLHurricane knows, when I worked in downtown, I rotated between Panino's, Planet Pizza, and Gitto's...

Look, I respect both you and @SWFLHurricane . It's tough for me to discuss this with him...on one hand, I know he lived there for a long time and his experiences are real and valid...on the other hand, I started living in Orlando in 1972 and have been going downtown long before these "more...

Oh, look, there are other train collisions in Florida that do not involve Brightline... https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/24/us/florida-hillsborough-train-hits-vehicle/index.html

I'm in favor of putting additional metal-plating on the front of every train, and instructing the engineers to accelerate whenever anything blocks the tracks...

Yeah, I worked across the street from 55 West (old SunTrust Building, the 4 pyramids roof) and I sometimes parked there for Orlando City games. It's...not great...it has potential...but they needed to do more with the ground level, to kinda block it off from the walk-by traffic. When I worked...

I'm not going to argue, you lived down there and I didn't. I only went down for work and sports/entertainment. I saw what I saw along Orange Avenue and whatnot. If it's worse elsewhere, that sucks. From the 1980s onward, I saw the impact that Camillus House made in Miami. We need something...

To be fair, @SWFLHurricane lived IN THE CITY of Orlando. I was one of the suburbanites who lived in Seminole County (though in my defense, it was not very built-up when I lived there). Had a lot of dirt roads back in the 70s/80s, one of the LAST of which got paved about a year ago (a few...

I love @SWFLHurricane , but he is still having flashbacks to homeless people near downtown Orlando. Once you get out into suburbia, you simply don't have those issues. You still have traffic, etc. Winter Garden is interesting, it wasn't much when I was a kid, but it's really come up lately...

It's much faster from West Palm to Orlando. They built new track. Still the old Amtrak line in SoFla, so it can't hit the same speeds. But it's capable of doing 120-140.

Here's what I don't understand. Unless this is "the crossing lights didn't work", I'm not sure why anyone cares. If someone tries to race a train, or if someone tries "suicide-by-train", those types of things can happen anywhere at any time. The FASTEST part of the Brightline is between West...

Price are not great. And the route from Orlando to AVENTURA should only take 2 hours and 52 minutes (in the morning) or 3 hours and 9 minutes (at busier times), it's an extra half-hour to get to the Miami station. I look at it for the convenience. I don't have to drive, I don't buy gas, I can...

Really? I had never checked. I know Brightline runs from Orlando International to Aventura. If the GaTech game is at noon or 3:30, I think I'm using Brightline (to try it out).

Interstate 20 just wrecked my car on Monday night, so I might be using the train here soon...

For now, the shuttle bus is only running for Dolphins games. The "first class" ticket on Brightline includes a 5-mile Uber ride, but it is about 8 miles to the stadium. You can make an arrangement for the Uber from the train station, but "getting back" might be tougher, I think the rideshare...
