It was really a cool place then but I think for the good of The Villages, it would have been better for the new Costco to be on the south end of Ocala.

The traffic and influx of surrounding neighbors to shop Costco will be extremely undesirable for The Villages. We would always prefer to drive 20-30 minutes rather than have that constant congestion. Now Ocala residents will be in the crowd filling the streets here.
The influx of people from neighboring towns will be welcomed by restaurants in The Villages.
