Everybody wants a Trader Joe's and a Cosco, but nobody wants the population increase that could trigger those perks.

Thinking out of the box how about some form of transportation (aka:Rail/Tram) possibly between the squares? Maybe something to transport you and your golf cart from Lopez area to Feeny area, and back. It would take some innovation so let's get the ideas flowing.

Isn't that like putting in a tram between two Walmart's, so you can enjoy both?

Why would we want to move from where all the activities are now. I can't do everything now.

the only winner in this continuing saga are those selling land and developing on it. Home buyers will have plenty of time to think about it as they sit in traffic or stand in a line at a store. Who the heck would celebrate over crowding. Geezzz

The Houston market in the 1980s collapsed because of falling oil prices not oversaturation. Because of that, the Houston area lost about 12.5% of its jobs (225,000)

I agree--in the 80's and again around 2000. See post #63

Groundbreaking has already begun for the new monorail station in Fenney. Rumor has it will contain flatbed cars for golf carts like the auto train. You will drive your cart up a ramp onto the railroad type car and stay with it like on a ferry boat. Various packages like trail fees will be offered.

Just opened this thread after several days and read this great piece of satire. Thanks, RustyP

Thanks Carla

That's an old post - maybe time does stand still

The big positive for Brownwood villagers will be the buildup of retail and restaurants on SR44 and quicker access to the Turnpike when traveling to Orlando. The new Publix on 44 is probably the biggest one around.

I am curious though what the traffic scheme will be on the Morse Blvd extension. I don't see any circles so once the expansion is complete there probably will be a number of traffic lights which will slow things down quite a bit. Hope I am wrong.

There are now more new houses for sale (135) in the Village of Fenney than any other Village including Pine Hills or Pine Ridge.

There are several food items I purchase at Costco that Sam's does not carry. I also like some of their paper products better that what Sam's has. We have memberships in Sam's and Costco. I continue to do most of my warehouse shopping at Costco including items that Sam's does carry.

What he said above (although I never have had a membership to BJ's Warehouse).

Just take an Uber and rent a golf cart for 3 bucks to play the courses at Fenney

Makes sense and there will be more development coming SOUTH of Fenney. Heard from a reliable source.
