That tiny island called Monkey Island. It was always busy with water skiers and boaters. We’d tie up a bunch of tubes and hang out getting dragged behind the boat. The world famous water skiers lived here in Leesburg and had a training school on Lake Harris. That lake was filled with skiers and boaters but now it’s only a few fisherman. Sadly…. Sammy Duvall lived in the apartments on the corner of 9th street and 27. The building is still there. Having said all that, the fried green tomato’s are pretty good.

Did I miss something.....you said ‘sadly’ referring to Sammy Duvall. Last I knew he had a great ski school at WDW?
