I use to think all the unique amenities were put up north and couldn't understand why they weren't mirrored down south. Now I think they were built for 100,000 plus people long before anyone else expected this growth.
Maybe it's the same with the big box stores and department stores. They are not that far away no matter where you live.

He was such a nice man. Talked to everyone. He used to tell us to bring all our Michigan people down. Said they would have plenty of space for them.
He was excited to see Glenview CC getting done.
We met him on our first trip here when we were looking. He overheard our conversation with another couple about how cool the place was. Next thing we knew, we were sitting and chatting about Michigan and here.
He loved to watch the people in the square and said "there will be more of this" with a smile. We knew it was going to be big.
