Default Spanish Springs lost dream

You are correct...The first time I came to Spanish Springs I was pleasantly surprised of the unique restaraunts and shops....Over the years it has all but dissapeard...Augustines and the brewery was the best...The only big draw in Spanish Springs now is the Town Square and the music...I think the government of TV has let SS down by consentrating on the newer sides and the planning of more develepment and your money is going there and not in your side of Floridas freindlest Home Town...

Just my opinion..

Why not keep TV unique instead of making it like any other place? Those were some of the things that drew us here in the first place....it was unlike any place we had ever been.
