After Eastport is built, there just isn’t really any need to drive a half hour north for entertainment. Retail is starting to boom, Clermont is closer for additional shopping and life couldn’t be better.

Could income verses buying power for that area being reduced because of age and fixed returns be the problem? As we get older, maybe we don’t want to to go to the squares and spend like we used to? Perhaps that may be the major issue.
I live on the Historic side and I'm quite happy here with all the trees. We are close to much shopping and medical offices. I can get anywhere by golf cart. I don't understand the developer. He is planning to redo Paradise rec center, built Blondies, revamped a building next to Ay Jalisco (which still is empty). I still would rather live here and rarely travel to LSL let alone Brownwood or further.
