What an environmental upgrade that would be to have some vestige of classy audio, not to mention another attractive enticement to potential future residents. If not, maybe after construction ceases, a poll could be taken for each square for surrounding residents to decide on a particular format or even a variety? On the visual and maintenance side of things, so glad to see more and more empire zoysia instead of floratam, a huge draw for us prospective types.
I like classics too, but I don't need elevator music played at the squares. I like to hear music from our youth, it makes me feel young.

I cannot even think for a moment how this place would be if we all had a say in things like this and I hope it never changes. Just let it be...it is really fine the way it is. In my humble opinion.

I don't think we need any more "enticements for prospective residents". The herd coming in is extremely plenty.

It is not a friendly hi to you, and I will say I am sorry, but this is my home town and I love it. I don't know if you are a villager or a prospective one, but welcome to the forum. We are a fiesty bunch, as you can see.

In the background can you hear "Night on Bald Mountain"?
