First of all, yes, I would like to have a post office in TV. For anyone interested, there was a so-so article in the Daily Sun last Feb on the subject:

However, I really don't see why anyone would think we had a right to one specifically for TV. There are probably at least a half dozen full service post offices within 10-12 miles of anywhere in TV, ranging from Fruitland Park to Summerfield. And that's probably more than I had in Fairfax County, VA., and there are a lot more people there. But, say the magic post office fairy comes down one night and grants us a PO. Where are you going to put it? Wherever you do, it's going to be farther than an existing location for a significant number of residents. Put it around Spanish Springs and people down south will go to Wildwood, Fruitland, or Oxford. Put it down south and the folks in the historic area will keep going to Lady Lake and those in the western part will stay with Oxford. And regardless of where you put in, those up north will still be closer to Summerfield or the one on CR42.
Yeah, I'd like to have a full service PO here, if for not other reason than to provide more options and to be golf-cart accessible. But I'd rather have a Bojangles fast food joint or a Trader Joes. And I think we deserve those just as much.
