Near us, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Radio Shack, JoAnne Fabrics and Home Depot are NOT golf cart accessible.

I think it has more to do with state law than regulations imposed by either TV or the stores. I believe state law forbids golf carts from being on or crossing over streets that have speed limits of 35 MPH or more. Since Rolling Acres fits that description, golf carts are not allowed to cross over it to get to Kohl's, Best Buy, etc. One way around this is to buy a street legal golf cart which can travel on streets with 35 MPH limits and also cross over other streets like 441. However, this imposes additional costs in terms of insurance and registration. For the balance of 2009, these costs are more than offset by a federal tax rebate of over $5,000 in some cases.
