I have nothing against Spanish Springs. It's just that I live in the Fenny area and other restaurants/attractions/bands are closer to me in Brownwood, Sawgrass, and developing/soon to develop, Eastport and Middleton.
So unless there is something very special in SS to get me there (really good restaurant, entertainment, special event) I'm not going to make the multi-traffic circle drive. I'm certainly not going to take my golf cart.
So assuming folks down here think like me, it's going to be up to the Lake Sumter area and north people to keep it going. Are there enough with enough disposable income to make that work? I would think so, but the boarded up locations awaiting revitalization would argue against that. Time will tell, I suppose.
I certainly want to see it succeed, it benefits all of us. But I'm not that far removed from the business world to understand that business must make a profit. It's not a charity.
