Learn me Deland, Florida

Someone commented that it was a strange little town. I have to work there for a few weeks. At night. In an industrial area. Any experiences there?

Strange little town is about right. It's very much old Florida, with all of the plusses and minuses that entails. Expect lifted trucks and rednecks, but also southern charm. Now mix in a private university smack dab in the middle full of rich Northeasterners who are very liberal. It's a very interesting dynamic, especially since that school has been growing each and every year.

My first boss has lived there pretty much his whole adult life. He spoke highly of it.

We just had dinner there Saturday night. Not sure what it's like to live there but, yeah, cool downtown to walk around--way, way better than Daytona, for example.

Deland is right next to Desea.

Cricket cricket.....

I'll see myself out.

In reply to KyAllroad:

And not far from Deltona.

Thanks guys. I'll be heading up there next week.

^^ If you are into live music, check out Cafe DeVinci, they always have something cool going on. Deland has a quaint little downtown. It's a nice place to visit. They have frequent car shows / art shows and other gatherings in the downtown area. Away from the downtown.....there isn't much to see.

Abbey Bar in downtown is alright. Other than the university area, it is fairly standard deep south.

Yeah, someone at Cafe DaVinci must like old school punk. We recently saw the Dead Kennedys there. (And I don't care if Jello isn't with them, it's still the rest of the gang and they totally killed it.) A while back, I saw The Adolescents and Youth Brigade there. I was so close to the stage that Steve Soto almost bopped me with the headstock of his bass.
