\u201cWhat sets\u00a0Florida Road Trip<\/em><\/strong><\/a> apart is every episode explores the area through the lens of history,” said Jennifer Cook, WUCF Executive Director.\u00a0“Our audience may have attended a baseball game at Joker Marchant stadium before but may not know the ways in which it honors the fighter pilots who learned to fly there prior to WWII.\u00a0Florida Road Trip<\/em><\/strong><\/a> seeks out those stories in hopes of connecting our present with our past.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestled between Orlando and Tampa is the city of Lakeland, the first pit stop of the newest season. A few of the notable Lakeland locations featured include Joker Marchant Stadium, Florida Polytechnic University, the Florida Air Museum, and the Silver Moon Drive-In Theatre. Plus, viewers will uncover the history of the city\u2019s royal residents of Lake Morton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
