Book excerpt: Whether you’re a born-and-raised Floridian, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Florida Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as David Grimes and Tom Becnel take you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Sunshine State. Discover the state’s smallest police station; its highest point (at a measly 345 feet); and its warmest (and smelliest) mineral spring. Meet a worm-fiddlin’ woman; a chainsaw-wieldin’ man; and some real-life underwater dancing mermaids—sure to make a splash with the little ones! Join the fun at a flip-your-own-pancake restaurant; the Chumuckla Redneck Parade’s lack-of-beauty pageant; or the get-nekked-if-you-dare Butt Hutt.
