I've lived here since 2009 but before that...maybe before SS was created the folks in the "historic area" and perhaps in the early SS area had to shop in Leesburg or Ocala. I don't know if they complained but that's how things were then. Also medical care was that same thing. We have friends who moved into a planned community up near Jacksonville about the same time we moved here. They had to drive about 30 minutes back then to shop etc. I don't think the folks in the southern part of T.V. are suffering too much. They knew when they bought there what the "lay of the land" was. Think of the excitement though, as they get their desired commerce etc. It will eventually come!!
