    ~ Backstreet Boys started in Orlando
    ~ Southern Rock Music started in Jacksonville (with bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special.) Hey Tyriq… They were actually from the Westside too!! 😊
    ~ Publix was originated in Winter Haven, but has been headquartered in Lakeland, Florida for decades
    ~ Olive Garden started in Orlando
    ~ Burger King started in Jacksonville
    ~ Hooters started in Clearwater
    ~ Oh…. And remember the viral Mannequin Challenge?! Yep… Students at Ed White High School (on the Westside!) started that back in 2016 😉
