Default Life in Greater Brownwood vicinity?

I love the Spanish Springs area, and I love the Sumter Landing area. Why? Because there's tons to DO, both in and out of the vicinity. Wherever we live, we'll be there for the rest of our lives, presumably. I drove outside the Villages near Fenney and there was absolutely NOTHING there. If you want something to do, you either accept the limited same 50 stores and restaurants in Brownwood, or you drive 20 minutes north to the rest of The Villages, or even longer to get out of the Villages completely.

Where are all the things to do? I mean other than Brownwood, which was nice, but just like I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life going to the same mall every few days, I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life going to Brownwood every few days. I like a little variety.

Are there any of the kajillion clubs you can join, active in the Fenney area? Or do you have to go up to Sumter? What about places to go outside the Villages? Any museums, auto repair shops, movie theatres (I know, there are some in TV. Variety, people. Variety.)? Bodegas? Book stores? An Antiques Row with luncheonettes and boutiques tucked away somewhere within a 10 minute drive?
