John Neill Searcy came from Tennessee in March 1873, and Edward Warren Henck arrived from Boston in November of the same year....

I have been a resident of Longwood, FL since 1991 and this is the first parade sponsored by the Longwood Citizens on Patrol ever.  The event was held December 13, 2014 in downtown Longwood.  There were 108 entries who entered the parade.    Those who went enjoyed themselves and saw a variety of local groups and businesses walk the parade route.    Congressman John Mica, Congressman Bob Cortes also joined the festivities.    You can see by the photos, the weather was absolutely beautiful for the parade.  The parade was a big success!   Here come the colors:     The clock is a town center piece in Longwood.  Parade watchers along the route:       For the first time, the parade was lots of fun.  Here is a video posted on youtube:  It's not mine.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCM8D27wHhY...

The first quarter of 2014 is behind us. Spring is in the Florida air. Buyers are buying. Take a look at some of these March home sales that we had.                 Beggs                                            Pin Oak                                               Sea Grape 1. Beggs Road, Orlando, FL 32810. This unique home in Lockhart was on just under an acre of land. A big 5 bedroom home along with a 1 bedroom cottage. Because of its layout and setup this house was somewhat of a challenge. But we did get it sold to a VA buyer for $189,000. 2. Pin Oak Drive, Longwood, FL 32779. This upstairs 2/2 condo unit in Windsor Walk at Sabal Point was a bank foreclosure home. Great location for investors and rentals. A cash buyer grabbed this for $67,000. 3.
