Holler at @ivanhoevillage Main Street for letting @bkeepz tag along on a walk thru the old Ivanhoe power plant on Orange Avenue. It used to be the home of @orlandoballet . Our new pal Tom from the City led a posse through the catacombs under the building to the rooftop to check the Happy Holiday sign that will be lit up on Jingle Eve this month on the 23rd!
