Shopping was 5 min away north or south where I had lived before TV. The bottle water refill station was a traffic light away. That was a huge convenience. I don't feel like driving 16 min to walmart in comparison, or 24 min to Lady Lake. Before I could just go for a quick run, now I have to time it so I'm not wasting gas going as often or my food isn't running out. Love living here so won't complain too harshly, have to adjust the best way possible. But I just get lazy and have to manage my food stash better to where if I want something I have it and don't have to make a special trip more than 1 a week.
