Spanish Springs and Sumter landing are losing staple businesses, and there do not seem to be people knocking the doors down to fill any of them. Outside and nearby things are booming with construction and development. Perhaps the apartments, family areas and cheaper housing around TV will save the day. Perhaps the bubble will turn into a landlocked beach town where certain businesses close during off season periods. Your thoughts and opinions welcome. See you as a full-time neighbor coming early next year. Have a Great day!

Just ignore the "if you don't think everything is perfect here what the hell is wrong with you" responses. Your observations are valid and are good food for thought. Nothing wrong questioning the status quo.
The older areas south of 441 are actually getting younger every year. Our small cul de sac has had 6 older people die or move out in the last 5 years and all the homes were snapped up by younger owners.
