Since May 16, 2015, I've been on my summer internship. I've been in Arcadia, Florida which is a small town considering where I'm from. Arcadia is a country town started some time in the late 1800s. It is located in the middle of no where.
When Arcadia was being built, there railroads and dirt trails that led into town. State Road 70 leads into town which follows an old rail road. Downtown Arcadia has the semblance of the past. Two lanes down the middle, parking to the side, and old style buildings on each side.
There are some historical places still in Arcadia. There's an old cafe which has been around for over fifty years. Someone told me, that the restaurant has been around for almost one hundred years. I have been to Wheeler's Cafe several times. The small restaurant is filled with blue collar workers looking for a good meal and a place to relax. There's nothing but good food, friendly people, and delicious homemade pie.
Later, I'll tell you about the transition of the big hustling and bustling city life of Tampa to the simple low-key life of Arcadia.
