More of Lost Florida
Yet more mapesque entries. A few weeks ago Spring [1] and I were driving
around. Okay, I was driving, Spring was passengering. She was also looking at
a map of Florida I had in the car, concentrating on the section for South
Florida (which consists of Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and aaaaaallll the Palm
Beaches, to mimic nearly all the radion and television stations down here)
and right there, in Pompano Beach, is Storyland. [2]
“Storyland?” I asked. I've lived down here for 22 years now, and I've never
heard of the place.
“Storyland,” she said, pointing to the map. “See?” She held the map to where
I could see it. At the next red light, I took a look.
“Yup. Storyland.”
So it's been in the back of our minds for some time now. I quickly checked
the map in question just now to remember the name (“Toy—something or other?”
“Um, … Storyplace?”) and one quick Google search [3] later, and yes, it did
exist. [4] Neat!
