US-192 (Kissimmee)
Under ett besök i Florida hann vi med ett tur längst den sexfiliga huvudleden US-192. Söder om Orlando ligger staden Kissimmee och det är där vi gjorde upptäckter som fick oss att fundera på vad som hänt med detta samhälle under de senaste årtiondena.
Det tar ungefär 25-30 minuter att åka genom Kissimmee längst US-192. Som många andra städer i USA så ligger den lilla stadskärnan vid sidan om huvudleden och det är längst den denna väg som de flesta nöjen, restauranger och hotell ligger, dvs näringen till orten.
Det första som slog oss var nog inte ett överflöd av rivningstomter utan tvärt om. De byggnader som övergivits står kvar och många byggnader hade byggstaket runt omkring sig. Kanske i hopp om att en gång sprudla på nytt och under tiden undvika vandaler och oinbjudna nattgäster.
Kissimmee och US-192 var en gång i tiden fullt av attraktioner och många turister bodde längst denna ”strip” på 80 och 90-talet. Ett av de största anledningarna till detta är Walt Disney World Resort som slog upp sina portar år 1971 strax norr om Kissimmee. Turismen blommade och motellen längst US-192 var knökfulla av barnfamiljer som efter dagens Disney-besök tog bilarna tillbaks på US-192 och gjorde stopp på något av alla restauranger och kanske även passade på att köpa souvernirer i en av hundra butiker.
Men på 1990-talet så valde Disney att utöka utbudet av nöjen, instresset för parken växte lavinartat. Pleasure Island, Typhoon Lagoon, MGM Studios var några av de nya attraktioner som byggdes och Disney försökte nu ge sina besökare ett helhetskoncept. Det var lite detta som satte spiken i kistan för US-192 och alla mindre verksamheter längst denna väg.
Genom att erbjuda besökarna upplevelsepaket där boende och måltider var inbakat i ett så gav det mindre utdelning till motellen och attraktionerna som fanns utanför Disneys område. Och i samband med att Disney utökade sina transportmöjigheter och erbjöd besökarna bussresor till och från närliggande flygplatser så minskade omsättningen hos biluthyrningsföretagen.
US-192 idag, efter både börskraschen 2008 och Disneys framgångar är tyvärr inte mycket mer än några få lämningar av dåtida landmärken som bland annat en jättealigator vid Gator Motel samt ”Världens största apelsin” på Orange World.
Vi får verkligen hoppas att Kissimmee lyckas blomma igen. Men det blir ju svårt med tanke på vad Walt Disney en gång sa:
”- Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”
De ödeplatser som besöktes var följande i ordning; En affär, en läkarmottagning, en mexikansk restaurang, en kakelaffär, ett hotell, resterna av ett motell (bara poolen kvar), ett köpcentrum och en bar.
