I could go on, but you all get the idea.

Trashers waiting line is like this all day and night from Memorial Day to Labor Day. They have no ketchup, vinegar only.



They chop the whole potatoes into french fries right in front of your eyes.

You people never saw a Dairy Queen in The Villages???

Two have closed!

Nothing more.............keep it out of the area.

A good Boston Market (the one in Ocala is bad at best).

A nice shoe store. A repair shop or two -- alterations, shoe repair, small appliances, computers.

Not the same ole, same ole.

There is a car wash of sorts at the gas station at the (southwest?) corner of 44 and 301. It's not hands-on, so no people drying your car off. It's in the shopping strip that used to hold the old Winn Dixie.

Spoke with the manager at the Boston Market in Ocala on Wednesday. He said the corporation is looking for a site in TV. He thought it was a done deal.
BTW they have remodeled the interior and our food was good as usual.

There are car-washes in Wildwood--I think 2. There used to be a Dairy Queen on 466 some years ago and it closed, so don't think it would be sustainable now if not then. I think this was about 7 yrs ago it was here.

Saw some activity by the old Winn Dixie in Wildwood the other day. That center has died since Dixie left & then the Bike shop

An athletic shoe store that sells court shoes. For all the pickle ball I'm surprised how hard it is to find tennis shoes.

Taco Bell, or even Mc Donald's. I'm surprised there are no fast food places other than Subway along 44.

A Trader Joe's would be awesome. I wonder why the company doesn't think the Villages would work for them.

Might as well add in a tattoo parlor and a check cashing store next to a pool hall.

Let's not forget a Hooters for those post-round golf gatherings...
