25 Years of Weird Florida - Thoughts and Pictures by UseppaGin - …. Useppa Islanders gathered on January 6th for the first 2024 program of the Barbara Sumwalt Museum 25 Years of Weird Florida. Eliot Kleinberg’s 1st book Weird Florida started it all in 1998 with tales of cows in the Intracoastal Waterway, haunted airlines, celebrity sex scandals, and more… stories of Florida shocked and amused. Kleinberg challenged “Is Florida one of the weirdest places on earth?” His second volume in 2006 Weird Florida II: In a State of Shock continued the scandalizing sagas. In a night at the Museum, Useppans loved hearing them all. What does that say about us?
