Disney makes its own gravity in Florida. Ever wonder why Orlando, unlike most cities its size, has next to no strip clubs and doesn't even have a zoo? Because the Mouse doesn't want them in his backyard.
- michaelcampbell 5y agoI lived in Orlando for 14 years, well within Disney's time-sphere of influence. While I lived there, it had strip clubs. A fair number of them. One of the reasons they shut down was a massive roadwork project on South Orange Blossom Trail where a lot of them were. Many, many businesses shuttered due to the road work median limiting left turns, and the widening reducing available parking to next to nothing.
- qzw 5y ago> Many, many businesses shuttered due to the road work median limiting left turns, and the widening reducing available parking to next to nothing. Quite true. Yet, as you would expect, today's Orlando doesn't lack for restaurants, bars, gas stations, night clubs, etc. But one business category conspicuously failed to make a return.
- michaelcampbell 5y agoThat could also be, and there's not one shred of evidence that historically conservative FL had any less to do with it than Disney.
- seanp2k2 5y agoNice strip clubs you’ve got there. It would be a shame if someone happened to start doing a bunch of road work that forced them to close. -°o°
