Blast away!
Fully understand your feelings. I came here 11 years ago and felt TV was really unique. We were told that they were going to cap the population at around 90 to 100k. Building would stop at 466a, then it became 44. What made it special were things like Katie Bells the Cattle Barons restaurant. The deli restaurant in Sumter Landing where Panera is now located. You could actually go out to dinner and not have to wait over an hour to be seated and the golf courses were in better shape as they use to over seed them for winter conditions. To me TV has lost this quaintness and as turned into suburban sprawl where everything has become about money. Don’t get me wrong, TV is still a nice place, but as I tell some of my friends it’s not for everyone.
