<p>[QUOTE="elarnia, post: 4408475, member: 159"]A story in the Orlando, Florida Sentinel on April 17, 1984 covered the announcement of a new drive to attract business to Florida using that slogan, but the poster shown in the article has a giant palm tree similar to your poster, but surrounded by and dwarfing landmark buildings from other cities (Chicago Sears Tower, Atlanta Peachtree Plaza, SF TransAmerica Tower, etc.), not as a rocket. Then the Palm Beach Post on February 4, 1985 has the following:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.newspapers.com/img/img?institutionId=0&user=312969&id=129484280&clippingId=94647460&width=557&height=740&crop=655_853_609_824&rotation=0&ts=1644504865" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://img.newspapers.com/img/img?institutionId=0&user=312969&id=129484280&clippingId=94647619&width=557&height=172&crop=1268_428_574_181&rotation=0&ts=1644505055" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Florida National Bank became part of what is now Wachovia in 1990, so who knows where the original of the poster is today?
