How We Do Mount Dora: 10 Places That Keep Calling Us Back
Mount Dora is one of those towns we keep coming back to, not because we’re trying to “see everything,” but because certain places just work their way into how we experience the town. In this episode, I’m sharing how we do Mount Dora, ten businesses and spots we return to again and again, and why they’ve earned that place for us. This isn’t a definitive guide or a one-day checklist. It’s a personal, experience-driven look at the places that consistently make a Mount Dora visit better, whether you’re here for the first time or the fifth. Along the way, we talk about everything from Belgian-style pomme frites and antique treasure hunting, to mid-century modern design, David Bowie’s connection to the Memphis movement, curated vintage finds, outdoor outfitters, and handcrafted chocolate you can sometimes watch being made through the factory window. If you’re planning a Mount Dora visit, or if you’ve already fallen for the town and want a few thoughtful ideas on where to spend your time, this episode is meant to help you slow down, wander smarter, and enjoy the place the way locals and repeat visitors do. #mountdora #mtdora 🌐 SHOW NOTES. http://chadgallivanter.com 📱 SOCIAL.
