So, are we supposed to keep to our area while they keep to theirs? I do not want any to feel invaded upon.
Had zero issues going to visit in Middleton, everyone was friendly, kids were polite. Moltry Creek and the next championship, will be next to Middleton. When shopping in grocery, at TV, there are families, neither feels invaded space. Stopped by HS, and met with friendly faces. Kind of surprised you feel uncomfortable around the families living there. Many have parents and grandparents who have been residents for many years. They depend on those parental units to ferry their kids to outside activities, drop off and pick up from school, while parents work

Tonight at Halloween in Brownwood, plenty of outside families, just like years past. Kids having fun, parents interacting with residents. Actually had cute twins about 4yo, offer a sucker from their bucket to us.

Just like any other retail, in TV, it could not succeed with just residents, and No families.
