#ExploreOBT Encourages Readers to Snap Unexpected Beauty Along Orange Blossom Trail

We took a hot second to cruise down a small portion of Orange Blossom Trail (also known as OBT and The Trail) to scan the street for fun, pretty and unexpected things. It'd be easy to write this street off based on first impressions and the reputation is has to some folks. What we found on April 3, 2011 is displayed in this small collection of lovely hand painted signage and graffiti. We live-tweeted our mini-trip on our Twitter account and tagged the posts #ExploreOBT. We encourage you do the same, and perhaps get more folks interested in this well known but perhaps misunderstood street. We're excited to share some unexpected treasures along "the trail" and hope you'll help us find more.
