In 1933, Giuseppe Zangara was executed in Florida’s electric chair. He had fatally shot Chicago mayor Anton Cermak in Miami the previous month when he tried (and failed) to shoot President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt.
When informed of the news, Roosevelt proceeded to get fershnikit on vodka bucks and sing Polish folk songs in honor of his departed friend from Chicago. Aides didn’t have the heart to tell FDR that Cermak was Czech.
i love when you’re talking to someone who’s not from florida and you just casually mention a thing that only happens in Florida and it ruins their whole day
one time i was talking to some guy and he was like “haha how do yall get alligators in your backyard? do you not have fences?” and i had to inform him that gators can absolutely climb fences
omw to go sit in your pool
this is why kennedy space center had to install fancy outward-curving fences around the launchpad, bc gators climbing over regular fences and getting on the launchpad could be very dangerous
I’d like to think that the “STOP ” sign is also for the gators.
I was honestly shocked when it was announced that The 1975 was going to be the headliner at Florida Man. They were amazing of course and I’m definitely going to see them again whenever they come back to Orlando.
This year was incredible in terms of concerts. Thanks to my favorite radio station, FM101.9, I was able to see Walk The Moon and Pepper/Iration for free because I won tickets, as well as The 1975 at Florida Man for my birthday!
The best was definitely my favorite band Bring Me The Horizon in Tampa though. I wish I had photos from that show but I’m so glad I didn’t bring my camera because it POURED during the whole concert! Luckily the rain added to the intensity and passion of the music and I had the best time. Definitely a concert I will never forget, and I can’t wait until they come back to Florida so I can see them again!
