Winter Park
   
Once a haven for artists, writers, and some of the most influential families in the country, Winter Park was promoted in the late 1800s as a refuge for "the cultured and wealthy".  Those early boosters would almost certainly be pleased to see how it all turned out.  Today, the city is home to 70 parks and nearly as many oak trees (20,000) as residents (28,083).
    The heart of Winter Park is Park Avenue, stretching 10 blocks and boasting more than 100 shops, from upscale national retailers to one-of-a-kind boutiques.  On the north end of Park Avenue is the Charles Hosmer Museum of American Art, showcasing the world's largest collection of Tiffany glass.  In addition, the downtown shopping district has spread west along New England Avenue, with posh apartments and retail stores in a previously blighted area.  And farther west is Winter Park Village, a red-hot retail and entertainment center on US 17-92.
    On the shores of Lake Virginia is beautiful Rollins College, the oldest institution of higher education in Florida and one of the top-rated private liberal arts colleges in the nation.  Year-round the city is alive with festivals and special events, from the Sidewalk Art Festival, drawing more than 250,000 guests each spring, to the Exotic Car Show and assorted celebrations in Central Park.
