Space is the place
Ah to be back in a Walmart parking lot in the middle of nowhere. Well, apologies to the residents of Deltona, Florida, but being exactly halfway between Orlando and Daytona Beach, this isn’t exactly a destination. I did appreciate the naming of the bar across the street as the Sports Den, before even entering there [...]
