I guess Eastport will also be "bore city" to you, since they'll have many of the same shops you see in Brownwood...

AFA golf goes, there have been countless threads from your neighbors bashing the developers for not building more courses down Meggison Rd. I explained that there simply wasn't enough land, between the turnpike and the wetlands...

Funny, just the other day, you complained about people bashing the southern villages. Yet, here you are, bashing the northern areas... Funny how that works...

Anyway, I'm glad you're happy where you live.
I have not once bashed the north. I love Brownwood. I like the music and the atmosphere and the restaurants/bars even if they aren’t necessarily the best quality. If the right home came along I wouldn’t rule out living up north. I’ve taken the golf cart to Sumter and Brownwood multiple times this week because I love a long ride in the cart. They are very fun places.

My point was simply we aren’t missing anything down here. We have live entertainment at Sawgrass with lots of fun and community. Wouldn’t mind better food but that’s okay. If people are complaining about lack of golf here is have no idea why they bought. But you folks acting like we made a bad investment are just being ridiculous.

Eastport looks like tons of fun. Lots of entertainment and recreation. Food and drink, etc. so what if I don’t care about tiny shops selling overpriced old man shirts and golf hats? Everyone on here telling me how horrible I have it because the stuff I don’t care about isn’t here, it’s silly.
