“14 Plaza Of The America People To Meet. 1) Characters of all sorts could be found on the Plaza which offers a variety of entertainment classes. 2) These two students take advantage of the Florida weather to study on a grassy area under a tree on the Plaza rather than in a stuffy library. The Plaza of the Americans was one of the most unique areas on the University of Florida ' s campus. The Plaza, located on the north side of campus, attracted a diversified crowd to its grassy, tree-shaded grounds. On any given day, a walk through the Plaza could unfold Hari-Krishnas serving free lunch to anyone willing to partake of their generosity, musicians their instruments for those who wanted to listen, Brother Jed and Sister Cindy preaching to everyone, students eating lunch, studying, or just relaxing in the sunshine, or people selling tie- dyed shirts and jewelry. The Plaza was also notorious for the many speakers, politicians, and evangelists that walked the grounds freely speaking their minds to the plaza-goers. The Plaza was one of the best places to just " hang-out " and enjoy the day. Hari-Krishnas, evangelists, tie-dyed shirts, and musicians were just a few of the wonders of the Plaza that made it such a lively and different part of the University of Florida ' s campus.
