The 50s and 60s were the golden era for Cypress Gardens. It enjoyed the reputation of Florida’s #1 tourist attraction.

This month, read the history of Cypress Gardens written by Bob Gernert. Find out the inspiration and how they achieved such success in a short period of time at havenmagazines.com.

“If you were to tell me you just watched a show so good it could make a blind man see, I would know, of course, you were exaggerating; but you would certainly have my attention.

So, in the spirit of friendly hyperbole, I repeat the first half of my opening statement:

Jaws. Is the greatest movie. Ever made.

It could make a blind man see.

Now, about that second part; the one with the big, round number …

FIFTY.

Jaws is fifty years old.

Take a moment to let that sink in if need be.

I’ll wait.”

This month’s cover story about the 50th anniversary of “Jaws” was written by Jeremy Gardner. Is it the greatest movie ever made? Gardner builds a pretty solid case. Finish reading the story at havenmagazines.com and I’ll keep watching it on repeat all day. 🦈
