Greetings from Orlando Mural
You won’t find surgery sweets at Uncle Tony’s Donut Shoppe聽but you can find rare vinyl records.

Butterfly Mural 鈥� Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
Gigantic butterfly alert! OK, not actual ones, but these are even better.

Runner Up: #OrlandoBigChair
This giant oversized beach chair on Wall Street is a downtown Orlando staple.聽No matter what the occasion is, The Big Chair is ready for you! Climb on in, take a seat and enjoy! The Big Chair has been painted just about every Orlantone there is, but during football season it tends to turn black and gold for the best university around. #ChargeOn
