Something has been happening around Lake Eola.
The swans are disappearing—cygnets separated from their pen and cob.
Then the city got weird—like City Who is This Not So Beautiful
Luxury apartments multiplied overnight. Parking prices are getting hiked.
A man in a Cybertruck attempted a three-point turn on Orange Ave for 11 uninterrupted minutes. We literally recorded it and felt our IQ lower.
Someone paid $19 for a cocktail served inside a tiny bathtub.
The Lake Eola geese became increasingly aggressive…and they were already performing at an aggression of at least 97.57% so this is saying a lot.
The same four people are somehow always at The Guesthouse and their friends are tired of being asked to join them for happy hour.
Meanwhile, Swan City has remained unusually quiet.
Suspiciously quiet.
Quiet…quiet.
For months, we have been collecting observations.
Taking notes. Surveying the landscape. Peering through the fountain mist.
Watching Orlando continue its beautiful, strange transformation into whatever this place becomes next. Is Orlando molting and we are the feathers?
This was never going to be another tourist brand.
Something new is hatching.
