Antiquing in Central Florida
A modified trip, with judicious selection of stops, can be made in a weekend, but if you’re a true antiques buff, you’ll want to block at least four days to cover all the stops along the way.

Life in the Slow Lane
At the nearby Yearling Restaurant, I got acquainted with some cheese grits, super-sized hush puppies and tender morsels of batter-fried ’gator tail. Clever displays of memorabilia and the house musician, veteran bluesman Willie Green, make this rustic roadhouse an irresistible diversion.

Antiques Road Show
Nothing has prepared us for the beauty of the oldest inland town in Florida. Its main thoroughfare, Cholokka Blvd. is a picture-postcard setting of old buildings (many on the National Historic Register) framed by massive old live oaks dripping with Spanish moss.
