The Citrus Place

The "Old Florida" don't get no older than this here Old Florida: you'll find The Citrus Place on Terra Ceia Island, at an intersection that is your last chance to stop and turn around before crossing the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

They're been there for almost 40 years, carrying on the noble tradition of mom-n-pop fruit vending into the era of drones and smartphones. And is their stuff any good? Man, I can't even tell you how special their fresh-squeezed orange juice is; there's nothing like it. You think you've had "genuine Florida orange juice" before but you haven't, and I hadn't. Now I have, and I'm hooked.

Fortunately, according to their business card, they will ship their wares. Woo-hoo!
