Outside of Orlando's very gay side, there is almost no better example of how much Orlando differs from the rest of the GOP-controlled Sunshine State than the anti-capitalist streak that permeates the local arts and culture scene. The "Eat the Rich" graffiti that popped up not just once, but twice (after being painted over) earlier this year on Mills Avenue is a prime example. Painted on construction boarding outside of what's slated to be a new Team Market Group restaurant, the graffiti was celebrated online for a mere few days, just ahead of Trump's inauguration in January. We don't know who was behind either iteration, or whether it was the same tagger. But it served as a firm reminder — along with the massive anti-Trump protests outside of City Hall this year — that Orlando is painfully aware of wealth inequality and willing to call it out.
