| Good morning. It's Monday, April 18. Some hotels in Central Florida are no longer just a place to sleep. Several are doubling as art galleries, offering guests a way to satiate any need for a little culture before bedtime. As part of a nationwide campaign for Distracted Driving Awareness Month, troopers across Florida have been cracking down on multi-tasking drivers.
