In this episode, Kevin kicks off Part 1 of our walking tour of the Hollywood section at Universal Studios Florida. From a morning show cafe with network history to nightclubs that inspired I Love Lucy's Tropicana Club, each building holds a story waiting to be uncovered.
Join us as we explore the real-life inspirations behind the Today Cafe, Ciro’s, Mocambo, and the touching tribute of Maryanne’s Boutique. It’s more than just facades—it’s a front-row seat to Hollywood’s golden age, recreated in the heart of a theme park.
