If there are not any other more serious issue's than that.....we all are in pretty good shape. don't you think?
The pools....again...we loved them...the one we went to on a regular basis...Chula Vista is clean, well kept...some shade and nice chairs. It is true that we did not visit any others except we did try to get into Orange Blossom Hills....and that looked great and even had a TIKI Bar. It seemed really nice to us!! Out guest pass would not allow us to go in but we understand how that works now.
Minor league baseball in TV? A great, great idea....and probably enough population within TV and the other town nearby to support it well. What a feather in the cap that would be!
The Post Office thing.......well sure it would be nice to have a real one, but i do not see that as a major issue. I don't think i have mailed a letter in years....everything is now electronic! So a few times a year you go over to one of the Post Offices that someone else mentioned in an earlier post if you have a package. Not a big deal!
What we found to be lacking in the time we spent in TV , was lack of dedicated walking paths. We thought we would see more folks out walking, jogging, walking dogs etc., and we did not see that. We were staying on the Spanish side so maybe there are paths over by LSL? Does anyone know? That would be a great improvement and maybe not to expensive to create some great nature walking trails...just for people...no carts. What do you all think about that?

Carlent,
Sorry I guess I wasn't clear. I certainly don't mind pushing my window button to open it. That is not the problem. After about a bazillion times going through the gates, it stops working, and the window refuses to close, and getting it repaired is expensive. The mechanics have to take your door assembly completely apart to repair it. I had to get this done on my previous car, and now it's starting to happen with my current car. Maybe this doesn't bother you, but most of us would find this an inconvenience at least.
Also the hot (unprotected) pools issue that has been discussed sounds real to me. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must be. And dangerous for those of us who are light-skinned and sun-sensitive. I just don't go to pools because of that.
We do need our own Post Office. I've stood in line in the Lady Lake P.O. many times when there were 2 lines with 10-12 people in each line.
Re-read Kahuna's examples above, comparing the population of many small towns that have their own PO --- very disturbing, considering the population here in TV, and to quote part of his post:
"What have we done to get crapped on so badly by the Postmaster General? Geez, The Morse family gave George Bush close to a million dollars so he could get elected for two terms. What'd they get for the community they built? Zippo!"
I like the idea about more and longer walking paths where there would be no golf carts.
