That was a piece of oft-heard advice to tourists in this little corner of heaven about a hundred years ago.Hanford Carl Dann, Sr. (15 Sept. 1884 - 1 Sept. 1940) was practically a one man chamber of commerce back then.
I bring him up today, because I am preparing to open my home in the College Park neighborhood to a couple hundred expected visitors on the annual Historic Homes Tour.
You see, Mr. Dann once owned the property on which my home was evenutally built. He subdivided it, and sold it off to another developer--something he did no fewer than 60 times.
His own home was at the corner of Colonial Drive and Orange Avenue, just north of downtown Orlando.
Today, though, you rabbits may find him at Greenwood Cemetery in downtown Orlando.

That's pretty neat!
Thanks! I know I'm related to some Danns in this neck of the woods, but haven't done any research (YET!) to determine if there is a connection to Carl. Need to get around to that . . .
