We're all about Sanford Florida!
Today I wanted to take a different look at Sanford. I have been focusing a lot on buildings and”the obvious” that is right in front of me. It is also quite fun though to look for details when walking around. Can you guess where any of these pictures were taken? Pin It

With a capacity of about 115 people it makes a great spot for wedding receptions (especially attractive because of the adjacent Centennial [...]
After having lunch in downtown Sanford on a beautiful Saturday I walked down to the Veterans Memorial Park. The flag hung on half mast that day because of Ted Kennedy’s death, I assume (so yes, I am once again behind on my posts…shame on me!). This little park right by the Sanford Riverwalk is actually [...]
If you are in need of a quick bite that actually tastes good, or like their slogan says “Fresh Food Fast” you should check out Sanford’s Gourmet 2 Go on First Street (the location used to be Rubyfruit Juice and Smoothies, see Day 61).

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the next Alive After Five Street Party event will take place on Thursday, August 13th, as usual every second Thursday of the month, from 5pm to 8pm on First Street.

When walking through downtown Sanford this afternoon I noticed some action on Magnlia Square. Sure enough something is happening here: the installation of a covered shade! So of course I had to ask how long we will get to enjoy “shelter” of rain and sun on Mangolia Square. Apparently this shade is here to stay! [...]

Sanford is not necessarily known to be a “condo city”. Even though there have been more town home developments recently (due to a lack of space and higher land prices), Sanford is a city of single family homes, some of them beautiful Victorian houses in the historic district. So it was a big surprise when [...]
The Seminole County Courthouse in Sanford is located right by Lake Monroe (where Park Avenue ends at Seminole Boulevard). Thinking about getting married? Need to pay a traffic ticket (yikes)? Want to file for a divorce? This is the place you would do so in Seminole County. Besides that, there is obviously a lot more [...]

One of the most unique bars and nightlife spots in downtown Sanford is Little Fish Huge Pond, located on First Street in the Bishop Block building. The inside decoration and atmosphere is cozy (couches and sofas) and I felt like walking into one of my cool friends’ living room hangout (which I loved!). Obviously, the [...]
On Day 131 I had blogged about the road construction on Sanford’s First Street. Well, the project is finished and it’s looking great. First Street now features beautiful brick pavers right from its start at 17-92/French Avenue. This ties the downtown area together and adds even more historic charm to Sanford. Thanks at this point [...]
