When I was halfway through second grade, my mother moved us to the central east coast of the state, in what is called the Space Coast. Presumably the name comes from the nearby Kennedy Space Center. Also, because the more apt “Little Congealed Balls of Petroleum Tar That Wash Up on the Beaches Thanks to Off-Shore Drilling Coast” was too wordy for the Florida board of tourism.
