Only a few years since opening, change is now happening in Sawgrass Grove. It will happen in Eastport and Middleton.
I think Stu hit the nail on the head. Many residents prefer eating outside of the bubble. Many do not drink, many do not like crowds, many prefer the comfort of their home, some hate loud music... their reasons go on and on. How many of you visit, dine, and shop at the squares frequently? If your answer is SELDOM, then you understand why businesses come and go.

We had dinner last night with two couples here longer than us. They cannot remember last time going for music in the squares.
We go rarely but the truth seems to be as villagers develop an active social life they go out to dinner or to clubs leaving little or no time to go to the squares.
