This dislike of Hollywood seems to be an important part of why the Village developers dumped their commitment to providing entertainment here in the Villages offered by movie theaters. Not the economics of movie theaters and golf courses. Both of which need huge food sales and "ticket" or "green" fees to remain profitable. But there is a HUGE upkeep charge for the golf courses.

This is a theme that has been going on here for as long as we have been discussing the closing of the Barnstorm Theater. And many throw in the golf courses as making money for the Developers.
