Things You Can’t Miss in Gainesville

In this episode, we travel to North Central Florida to show you things you can't miss in Gainesville. Best known as the home of the University of Florida Gators, there's much more to this landlocked city than a college campus. There’s a lot to do here from acclaimed museums and points of historical interest to a pizza joint that’s more like an evolving art installation and beautiful natural areas, one with a menacing name.
