Re: Spanish springs or Sumpter landing
I like them both equally. Spanish Springs is closer, so that's a good start for me. I like Katie Belle's breakfast/brunch so that's another plus for Spanish Springs. I can nearly always find a place to park my rear after wandering for awhile (albeit not necessarily in a chair in the square itself). Being from California, the decor of Spanish Springs is closer to what I'm used to seeing. Another plus.
For produce, I like Sweet Bay. Since I'm down there already, I'll happily wander around Lake Sumter. I love looking at the water and listening to the music. A plus for Sumter. Seeing the "Key West" decor is fun and new to me. Another plus. If I can't find a seat at the square, I can always wander down to the docks and find a way to relax there.
Both have friendly crowds, fun shops although I prefer Sumter shops a bit more than SS stores. My deciding factor of which Square I'll go to is usually the music.
