Spanish springs may be struggling just a bit, but with Blondies in now, it has been hopping.
Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood are BOOMING. LSL is as busy as we have ever seen, and that is in AUGUST. We have been there during the day and in the evening. There are new restaurants and several new businesses (although we lost one we really liked). Overall, if I was collecting rent I would be VERY happy.
Shopping "up north" in the strip malls and "outside the villages" - they can't build stuff fast enough. They are building new stuff up on 466 with a new Hobby Lobby and a lot of other stuff. They are building like crazy on 466A, Wildwood, Fruitland park. Heck, they are opening a new home goods store up by Spanish springs, and BJs is up there now too.....
Brownwood is a constant Jam packed city.

I have to say Craig, I could not disagree more..... Not what we are observing anyway.

PS- Drive by Key St when you are here, you won't recognize it.... we have done a ton of upgrades.

which restaurant closed up?
