Indian River citrus rules!!!

I do have a comment about this for our Floridian friends.

We used to have a citrus truck that made laps up into Kentucky/Ohio/Indiana from like December to February with oranges and grapefruit. I would get emails and there would always be a line, but it was good stuff.

That stopped for a few years, but I think it's started up again.

Before my brother passed away in 2017, he was in and out of the hospital in Fort Pierce. I made several trips there, and realized that the address on one of my citrus boxes was a fort pierce address, so I drove over there one day when I was taking a break from the hospital, and it looked like a long abandoned building.

Bonus comment: I would fly in and out of Punta Gorda on Allegiant, so I basically drove across Florida from there to Fort Pierce. Passed lots of citrus groves along the way. It was pretty cool.
