Balancing a strong sense of community with a willingness to allow progress to knock at its door; DeLand is home to nationally ranked Stetson University; an assortment of inviting cafes; alluring unique shops; determined mom-and-pop stores; and architecturally significant buildings.

I own several books in this "series" for different places Ive lived. and this one was the disappointing. Of course. maybe Mexico Missouri was not a very exciting or history packed place. :O
