I don't recall that. I do remember clearly when the wall was put up abruptly in the historical section, blocking all golf cart traffic, just before negotiations were to be made with Fruitland Park. Many people think the wall was put up in order to show a precedent of NO OUTSIDE GOLF CARTS.


(The wall was later replaced with a card scanner so villagers only could move back and forth to Walmart, etc.)
