I would like to share some of the things which are special to Titusville.
My personal favorite - The Historic Emma Parrish Theater
The theater is adorable, small, great productions with
mostly local volunteer talent. For the price of one play in
Broward County you can buy a whole season (6 plays) at
Emma Parrish, but hurry - seats are going fast.
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge occupies 140,000 acres ofestuaries and marshlands, dunes and hammocks and alligators, lots of alligators. There is a 7 mile (one-way) self guided drivethru the habitat - please don't forget your camera. Also has hiking trails and the nearby Manatee Observation Deck.
Canaveral National Seashore Playalinda, 24 miles of unspoiled beach
not one single condo - daily fee $3.00 per person or $35.00 for an annual
pass (due to change in 2008). There are several parking areas with toilet
only. Be warned the last area on the route is a nude beach. Playalinda is
the beach where each year, from May through August, thousands of
Loggerhead, leatherback, and green sea turtles come ashore to lay their
eggs. Each turtle can lay approximately 600 eggs. Guided tours are
available in this environmentally sensitive habitat.
Enchanted Forest Sanctuary Part of Brevard County's Environmentally Endangered Lands Program it features walking and learning trails thru scrub, mesic and hydric ecosystems. This area in Brevard is very high for Florida. You can descend 20 feet into what I call the Grand Canyon of Brevard.
No - I didn't forget NASA and the Kennedy Space Center
(this website is awesome). I was leaving the best for last.
If you're interested, here's the launch schedule - what a
sight to see and hear. I live 8 miles from the Visitor Center
Complex. When a launch goes up, I simply open the front
door and wait for it to clear the treetops - it's amazing.
Usually though, we drive down to the Indian River, scout
for a much coveted parking spot, mingle with locals and
travelers alike, and wait for the show to begin.
There is so much more in the way of parks, museums, wildlife and birding festivals. People come from all over the world to glimpse of some of our exotica, it's very beautiful and peaceful.

I do not think you will find many people to disagree with this post.
Dwayne West-"Your professional Atlanta Realtor"
Dwayne - thank you so much!
Gail - what did you use to create this post? I like your format, can you share what application you created it in? THanks!!
Hi Brad, you're probably going to think I'm crazy 'cause I spent the better part of 2 days creating it. It's my first informative post and I wanted it to be special. The reason it took so long is probably because I DIDN'T use a format, just made it work as I went along. First I created the border, filled it with color and added the content. Text first, pictures last. I had a terrible time getting the text and pics to do what I wanted them to do. It was totally trial and error. Anyway I was happy with the end result and I appreciate that you liked it enough to ask.
Gail
Great Job Gail - you must have done it in HTML...very impressive! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Brad, actually the only HTML I had to use was for the border and inside color. I couldn't manage any of it if it weren't for Elizabeth Castro's book "HTML FOR THE WORLD WIDE WEB". It's still trial and error, but I'm hoping one of these days osmosis will take over :-)
