POTD - Oranges
Here in Florida we have stores just off the expressway where tourists are encouraged to buy Florida Oranges by the pound and send them back to family and friends. I think they will even ship your purchases for you. I don't know actually, as I have never bought any for my family or friends. Gosh, am I supposed to? I was thinking this was just a tourist thing until I actually started talking about it. Well, I can't think about it right now, it's not even orange season.
The particular stores in my area are called Indian River Fruit and they carry a large selection of Florida souvenirs, too! This particular store was closed and a new one had been built across the street. Orange and Blue - now those are some Gator colors.
Enjoy!

I love those places in Florida. I remember always going to one when we drove from Chicago to Florida.
