The Orlampa sign is gone so I don't think that Orlampa exists anymore.

WFT?! NO more Orlampa?? I will be sure to check on my way back to Tampa on Sunday.
There was also an oil rig near that sign, which I always found a bit odd.

Sean I think that refers to our home of PC/Dover/anywhere in between Orlando and Tampa. Girls don't know what they're missin! Like Alligator Bob's and that place where they have the sign that says " Rabbits for sale: Make great food or pets"
Silly girls!

Oh, I see. I thought this was like an actual place, not just a general area.

For a long time there was a sign out by I-4 that said "Future home of ORLAMPA". I believe that the owner of the property put it up as a joke since it was right between Tampa and Orlando. It was just a big empty field. Anyways, it was down last time I went by, but that was months ago. Maybe it just got knocked down by a hurricane and it is back up for all I know.

Ah, thank you for the explanation. That's pretty funny...the empty field is the best part.
I've never seen that sign in all the time I've lived here though...weird.

Orlampa? I've lived in Polk City/Lakeland for 5 years and never heard it called "Orlampa", I've heard it called "Heartland" numerous times though cus it's the direct middle point between Tampa and Orlando. I love Polk County, hehe, bunch of 'ol hicks.

Yeah that sign was put up as a joke... b/c tampa and orlando keep growing.... so they figured eventually that both cities would keep expanding and then eventually converge.

Yea in 2105. Or something.
Me and my brother always liked to give the fake dinos names like Plastidon. Or Styrodactyl. Then there's the Foamasaurus Rex.

*UPDATE*
Never fear...Orlampa still exists. The sign is right where it belongs, just before the Auburndale exit.

BTW, Orlampa was supposedly that space of land (directly in between Orlando and Tampa) where they were suggesting building a bunch of stores, bars, etc.
They said once it was supposed to be some good area for people from both cities to come meet up in. I remember the sign well. It was there a year ago when I used to drive out that way a lot
