Or·lan·do (ôr-lăn′dō) 1. a name combining "famous" and "land".

There are at least 4 theories as to how the City of Orlando came by its name. While no one knows exactly how the city got the name (not even the city government) the name Orlando in Spanish means "Famous Land".

Was this a prophecy? A self fulfilling prophecy? Either way, today Orlando truly is a famous land. But, beyond the roller coasters and court cases that make our city a national punchline there's a vibrant city coming into its own.

Artisanal coffee roasters, creative muralists, urban farmers, community organizers and countless others are bringing their best ideas to life in an effort to transform a city best known for being home to the world's friendliest rodent into a thriving cultural center.

Listen in as we meet the best and brightest our city has to offer and discover all the things Orlando should be famous for.
