WINTER PARK TOURIST CENTER

Winter Park Florida Will Surprise You! www.WinterParkTouristCenter.com

Hi. My name is Marlene Graham. I am a long-time travel journalist, former television reporter and personality, and the author of the book Headfirst Into America about my family's first year-long 50-states adventure.

Actually I have traveled all 50 states three times in my life in one-year stints and let me tell you, each time around was a fascinating learning adventure. Not only regarding the history and geography of our great nation, but in meeting the people. Our adventures were featured on such shows as Oprah, Today, The View, Donny and Marie, CNN, PBS, and hundreds of other media sources around the United States and the World including the Miami Herald, Ladies Home Journal, the Kansas City Star, and the London Sunday Times.

Now that I am off the road and living in Naples Florida, I focus my efforts on being a real estate and travel journalist. In fact, if you happen along 5th Avenue in Naples Florida, you will find my Naples Tourist Center at 539 5th Avenue South or you can see my Naples website at www.NaplesTouristCenter.com.

Currently I am in the process of developing out a series of Visitor and Tourism Center sites promoting my wonderful adopted state of Florida. In addition to the Naples Tourist Center site, I have begun working on these additional sites BonitaTouristCenter.com, MarcoTouristCenter.com, EsteroTouristCenter.com, KeyWestTouristCenter.com,  PineIslandTouristCenter.com, and this one WinterParkTouristCenter.com, with hundreds more planned for the future.

If you have suggestions for this site or others, please feel free to contact me at marlenegraham@earthlink.net.

Watch for my report of our Winter Park visit on June 11 and 12th!

I discovered Winter Park through my boyfriend whose family moved to the town during his high school years. A portfolio manager for Key Bank in Naples Florida, Don has many fond memories of his teenaged years in the town.

About a year ago, he took me there to show me his old school and other sites of his memory path. Now this coming weekend, he is really going to have a memory path! He is going to his high school reunion, and though I know he is going to hate me for this, I will tell you that it is going to be his 40th! So we will be headed that way again and since I am now working on this site, I will be putting together a nice article on Winter Park regarding our experiences there, as well as some history on the town. I'll also have pictures to post, so stay tuned! Oh, and how is this for a bit of irony. One of Don's sons ironically now lives in Winter Park where he works for Enterprise Rent-A-Car in nearby Orlando. History repeats itself!
