And besides I love it here!! I don't hate anything - this is paradise....
Well ok we do have lotsa bad drivers!! And a less-than-efficient "security gate system".

My suggestions for the "Suggestion Box":

1. Instead of using those cards to get through the gates, I'd like to have some small sticker on my windshield that could be "read" by an electronic reader at the gates. My driver's side window opener/closer (not sure what to call it) is starting to go bad! This can be very expensive to get repaired! (Been there!!)

2. I'd love to have a real Farmers' Market especially in the Summer months, at both squares, (or even one square on alternating days or weeks) at least once a week, EARLY in the mornings before it gets hot or starts raining!

Anyone else have ideas?
There's a wonderful Farmer's Market in Wildwood, Route 301 (Main Street) in front of the Town Hall every Saturday...baked goods, plants, fruits and veggies of all kinds. There's also a truck selling fresh fish that seems to do quite well. The hours, I believe, are 8am to 2pm year-round. There's also the Market at Marion, down on 441 in Marion County open Fri - Sun. It's a farmers market/flea market and absolutely huge. We go to the Wildwood market every weekend. Easy parking and small enough to walk around.
