A trucker hat or mesh cap is a type of baseball cap. It is also sometimes known as a gimme [as in 'give me'] cap or a feed cap because this style of hat originated during the 1980s as a promotional give-away from U.S. feed or farming supply companies to farmers, truck drivers, or other rural workers. 1 Description.
Cypress Gardens - Classic (Gone) Winter Haven, Florida. The classic Florida tourist attraction, Cypress Gardens, is gone forever, replaced by a Legoland in 2011. The Pope family opened Cypress Gardens near Winter Haven in 1936 as a showcase for what would eventually number over 8,000 varieties of plants.
But Cypress Gardens' two signature elements -- water ski shows and Southern Belles -- developed out of necessity. In 1940, to distract visitors near the entrance from looking at a huge, dead vine killed in a cold snap, Mrs. Pope instructed a female worker to don an Antebellum dress and flirt with visitors.
