On the Road to See the Kerouac House

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Thomas Swick visits the Orlando, Florida house where Jack Kerouac stayed just before the New York Times proclaimed him the voice of his generation. Kerouac may not often be associated with Florida, but a local author told Swick he thought it was important people knew Kerouac spent time in suburban Florida. “I want people, especially young people, to embrace the idea of history in the suburbs,” Bob Kealing said. “I call it suburban archaeology. This idea of him [Kerouac] as the precursor of the hippies. He was Catholic, he was conservative, and he lived with his mother in the suburbs.”
