POLK CITY, Fla. — M34, a typical black bear who became an inspiration, was stuck.
He had hopscotched north from Sebring between dwindling patches of trees until he came to Celebration.
If Florida was an entire world, M34 had reached its equator: Interstate 4, the legendary highway that conveys sunburned tourists between the gulf beaches and Disney World. I-4 is the concrete ribbon that ties up Tampa-to-Orlando commuters. It’s a battleground for presidential candidates.
