So those south of 44 count your blessings. You have a choice of two Costco's.

If I lived in Ocala, I would rather use 75 and exit at Wildwood, rather than using 301 or any other road to drive down.

When I go to Ocala, I also use 75 and get off at exit 200 or another exit to visit their stores. I could not imagine driving 441 or 301.

Living near Brownwood, I don't even like using 441 to go to Sam's, or 301 to go to Walmart.


I'm happy for Sumter County and The Villages, even if I don't love the location.
