Besides the Squares what are some good places to show my guest? I live in Hemingway so Truman and Seabreeze are on my list.

Someone suggested the Polo Club but I haven't made it there yet.
I love to take guests to these places;

On the trolley ride ...to show them just how big this place is. Some think they will be visiting a little dinky place with a fancy nursing home.

To a couple of regional rec centers and my choice would be Laurel Manor where I craft and paint with daughter Helene and Eisenhower because most of my guests would love the patriotism that lives there.

On a boat ride at Lake Sumter, but first tongue in cheek, build up the fact we have a lighthouse that keeps ocean going vessels on their course. Followed by a nice lunch at TooJays.

Invite a few friends and neighbors to a little gathering so they can continue to yammer about how much everybody loves this place.

I like to take them on a little ride in the golf carts. We like to show them Harmeswood with it's HUGE lots and different home styles, swing into the Polo Club area, just to show off how "posh" we are....and then stop by Arnold Palmer for their delicious burger.

By then they will suspect we get paid for selling the place, but we don't. We love it here.
