Dear recent Orlando transplant:

Ok, so you just moved to Orlando from New York / Philly / Chicago / San Francisco / et al. You feel lost, uprooted, misplaced -- you're starting to think Orlando might suck. Eager to find some nightlife in this town, you go to Lattitudes on Church Street, Slingapour's on Wall Street and that mega-club on Orange Avenue owned by one of those Backstreet Boys (Orlando's finest celebrities). Maybe you even think International Drive, Citywalk or Downtown Disney is where everyone hangs out in this town. Now you really think Orlando sucks.

Well, you're wrong. There is more to this city than theme park "nightlife" and crappy clubs with guys wearing shiny shirts, but you have to know where to look. Instead of complaining about how lame Orlando is compared to your city of origin, why not get out there and support your new scene -- it's a lot better than you think! After all, you moved here for a reason, right? (I'm guessing to escape the cold weather.) So you can do one of two things: either 1) move back to the city you think is sooooo much more awesome or 2) quit bitchin', check the events below and DON'T SLEEP on the shit that is happening!

Ghost Tours and Tourist Traps


Sometimes the nightclub isn't exactly what you want to do. Occasionally, when the mood strikes, you want to go camping in the woods, hiking along a walking path or something equally as random. That's the great thing about Florida, we have an amazing array of strange things to do.

So, if you've still got your panties all in a bunch over that whole Firestone fiasco that took place a couple of months ago, and refuse to go there for whatever reason. Or maybe you went out Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and just want something a little different to do.

Tonight, The Kissimmee City Center invites you to step into the world of the unknown with their Ghost & History Tour for a hair-raising ninety-minute walking tour into the spirit realm of Kissimmee. Hear the tales of murder, mayhem and mystery.

$9 - $19 will get you in and Reservations are Required and can be made by calling 321-251-5204.

And then, if you're still feeling spry, you can always hit the downtown Disney clubs and theaters, get drunk enough and actually end up at Firestone.
