In 2011 when the Villages of Tamarind Grove and Buttonwood were being built, I think it was in June a villager in a golf cart was killed at the end of my street. A contractor on Tamrind Grove Blvd buzzed through the stop sign at St. Charles and the golf cart going up St. Charles T-boned the landscaper coming out.

It was that way for about 2 or 3 years, constant backups waiting to get on St. Charles and impatient drivers cutting in and out and landscapers doing what they wanted. Now that our area, which also includes the Villages of Pennecamp and St. James has been finished and most yard landscaping has been accomplished, it is no longer the big hassle, it has moved to other areas.
