TV is a big place, I really do think that there is room for variety.

A craft beer bar with dart boards and pool tables, maybe outdoor corn hole, would be fun. A restaurant offering low carb appetizers and low sugar drinks would be a hit.

Maybe a fashion show with popular styles in the Villages.
Nahhh, just give me Rocky and the Elders every night. LOL NOT! I agree, the demographic here isn't mostly age 70-80 any more. They need to drop the music era a decade or 2. Right now and for the foreseeable future the discussion is moot.

As for restaurants, it seems half of them are owned by the same 1 or 2 groups so if one is lousy the rest usually follow and since T.V. takes a chunk of the business they have to make up for it in higher prices which makes it worse. Sadly, as many of the small restaurants disappear maybe we'll get some variety. My wife is a vegetarian and she can only eat so many sides of steamed broccoli or a veggie pizza as her dinner in restaurants around here and I HATE vegetables so it's tough for us to go out to eat. I think TPTB need to find a better arrangement for stores and restaurants to make an easier living or every building in the squares will be apartments since no one will be able to successfully run a business. It amazes me how some of the retail businesses here survive.
