A lot of orange groves were cut down for construction, 1990-2010.

I drove to Jax last week and saw some of the (long shuttered) orange-themed tourist shops off of 301/21/100. I had nearly forgotten they existed.

Right, I think its cause and effect though. Once greening took hold a lot of groves saw the writing on the wall and shuttered/sold. Thats partially what happened to an iconic grove by me which operated for decades. Now their highway stand is being paved over to put in another storage facility.
