At This Amish-Style Store In Florida, You Leave With Shoofly Pie, Whoopie Pies, And Made-To-Order Deli Sandwiches

Shoofly pie, Lebanon sweet bologna, and Martin’s chips share shelf space in one small shop. The surprise is that the shop isn’t in Pennsylvania. I love that a single stop can pack so much Pennsylvania Dutch flavor into one modest room. Whoopie pies, pickled eggs, and whole pickles all compete for attention.

Born 80 Years Ago Today in Florida, the “Cosmic Cowboy” Who Pioneered Country-Rock and Toured With Emmylou Harris

On this day (November 5) in 1946, Ingram Cecil Connor III was born in Winter Haven, Florida. However, you may better recognize him as Gram Parsons, the visionary artist whose intergalactic blend of country, rock, R&B, soul and folk music laid the foundation for what we now know as country-rock. A member of the Byrds and co-founder of The Flying Burrito Brothers before embarking on a solo career, Parsons’s remarkable musical run was cut tragically short when the 26-year-old singer-songwriter died of an accidental overdose on September 19, 1973.
