93/365 - Downtown Mt. Dora

With my parents in town, we went to explore downtown Mt. Dora. It was a beautiful day and we had a fantastic time.

I love these old buildings - the tile is gorgeous!

My dad noticed that the sign was posted missing an S. It's completely not there - not just rubbed off, not there.

Leave off the s for confusion!
