The Developer marketed the heck out of LSL -- political rallies; beginning/ending points for races, bicycle events, etc.; market nights ... all of which still occur there. SS has the car shows and market nights. Both of these squares have the parades. BW has very little in the way of events other than the farmer's market. They really do need more events at BW to entice people to go there.

Given that Wildwood forced the Developer to give it many benefits in order to build down there, I wouldn't be surprised if building a town square that far south and close to Wildwood wasn't in one of the contracts. A much better location would have been in the Fruitland Park area or closer to the strip mall where Winn-Dixie is.
