Default Caroline is a great village but..............

The village of Caroline is almost identical to all other villages south of 466 and it is close to Lake Sumter Landing and the stores and entertainment there. However the stores there except for the Sweetbay Grocery Store are not the ones that you will need for your day to day living. The stores that are chains and we are all used to; Kohls, Walmart, Target, Publix, Lowes, Home Depot, TJMaxx, and Furniture stores and a large amount of restaurants are on one of the three main arteries that are in TV. The top one (North) is 441/27 that goes around to be the right perimeter. The middle one goes fairly straight east to west and is 466 and the bottom one (for now) is 466 A. 466A doesn't have as many commercial locations yet, but does have Publix, Used Book store, Bealls Outlet, Hair Stylist, barbershop, Chinese restaurant, McDonalds, Walgreens, Dollar store, Cici's Pizza, a couple more womens stores, and Subway. ( I think it has a Subway Sandwich place....anyone?) Colony Plaza is the newest shopping area and the furthest south for now. But south across from the Colony Plaza and continuing along 466A they already have the roads and a lot of the infrastructure to the third phase leading to the much talked about Brownwood.

The stores at Lake Sumter Landing are the kind of touristy places that you would expect. It does have the movie theatre and some good restaurants at LSL.

Dear Coney. Please come and see.
