No Home Depot.
No Kohls.
And many of the national chain restaurants would have not been here yet.
Buena Vista did not go any further South than Arnold Palmer CC.
10 years ago there was no Arnold Palmer CC or golf course.
There was only one town center, Spanish Springs.
The population was around 30-35,000.
Just to name a few. Much of the success of TV has been due to the fact that it did reach a critical mass size that in fact began to draw national attention and chains.
Everything is relative. If you came from a town od less than 100,000 TV may not appear as friendly as your home town.
If you came from cities double, triple and more you think you have died and discovered heaven here in TV.
We have lived it for the past 11 years. We enjoy TV as muvh now as we ever did. We still have no problem getting to play golf anytime time we want. We have no problem getting into the many, many places to ear here in TV.
TV is sort of an ala carte smorgasboard. You can enjoy as much or as little as you want. With a little flexibility in expectation...not a lot just a little.....one can enjoy just about anything that has been presented as a negative.
There is no place else one can have such a selection of how to live ones daily life well into aging toward 100!
We all know that everybody cannot be made happy......but TV goes a long way in that direction!
