Considering the number of no or very minimal cost to residents events that are held by TV, take the above for what it's worth. Ah the Developer! How do I hate thee, let me count the ways.

If TV put on a big fireworks show at Lake Sumter, personally I'd love it. And of course if they would bring in the Boston Pops or the National Symphony Orchestra to play "Star & Stripes Forever" and all, that would be even better. But if there was such a show -- even without the Pops -- there'd be a huge turn out amongst non-residents. Can you imagine the posts on TOTV bitching about all those outsiders using "our" facilities?
