I have such fond memories of wasting hours driving down the old Dixie Highway. That area of Florida is predominately potato farms (chip potatoes), and in another life—before I was a programmer and after I was grad student studying poetry—I found myself selling crop insurance in a town nearby when I suddenly had to take over my father's business. Any chance I got to take a drive down that old brick road, I would. There were quicker routes to the farmers I was visiting, but none as pleasant. It was truly the best part of a fairly awful period in my life, and I've never been sure if I should recommend the drive to others as it's really out of the way. But if you want to see some "old Florida," it's one of the nicest ways to do so.
