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.

The 407 tries an Argentinian-style slice: Inside Obsession Pizza

Since opening its doors in Orlando this past June, Obsession Pizza has brought a distinct Argentinian twist to The 407’s food scene.

Beyond serving up hearty comfort food, the restaurant also invests in the community with its free 12-week Obsession Business School. The 407’s Lauren Margolis went behind the counter to see how these hefty pies are built and to taste a slice firsthand.

5 Best Italian Restaurants in Orlando, Florida that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Orlando, Florida — a city where the sun glints off lakes and glass towers, where neighborhoods bloom with murals and the laughter of families, where every street corner hums with the music of a hundred cultures. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: Spanish-tiled bungalows, mid-century motels, pastel storefronts, and the ever-present spires of theme parks that draw dreamers from every corner of the world. But beyond the neon and the fireworks, Orlando’s true magic is found in its kitchens — in the warmth of a shared meal, in the stories that simmer in every sauce, in the way food brings together newcomers and old-timers, students and snowbirds, artists and engineers, families and friends.
