The gateway to Historic Downtown Kissimmee, located at the intersection of Main Street and Hwy 192.



A view of Broadway in Historic Downtown Kissimmee, looking south from the intersection of Neptune Road. The downtown area is currently enjoying somewhat of a renewal, with the building of the City Centre offices and condos, and renovations of some of the older buildings. The long roof seen in the upper right of the photo is City Hall, which is on Church Street.



On the other side of downtown, Al's Pizza, busy from morning till night, serves up a quick and inexpensive lunch.

2) The horse sign has been up there for 40, 50, or 60 years. The gentleman that provided the information wasn't sure which.
