Drove over to Mt. Dora one afternoon....you pass thru lots of lovely farm country and signs that say "Bear Crossing", but I didn't see any...thank goodness. It seemed as if I was going nowhere, when suddenly I was in Mt. Dora and all its luxurious ammenities. I was told I had to see it cause of it having a wonderful historic district...similar to Sanford. I found it to be more formal and pristine than Sanford. Gorgeous homes along the water...a lovely drive. The business district has lots of upscale shops and neat restaurants. Very "chi-chi" hotel overlooking the lake...generally beautiful all around.
Definately worthy of a day or weekend of investigation. |

Welcome to my city Janet. I live 3mi from that very pic. Its only "gentrified" downtown..the rest of the area is quite rural. Glad you liked it. | pchamlis Sat Jul 7, 2007 00:50 UTC
I know Mount Dora well, Janet. You actually weren't that far from my neck of the woods. As for the restaurant, it looks great. Did they have grits? ;) | cadzand Wed Jul 4, 2007 15:12 UTC
