Unlike Rubicon who takes every opportunity to dis residents in adjoining communities for accessing public restaurants, stores, and medical buildings that he thinks belong to him and other Villages residents, I feel sorry for the residenst of the historical section of TV. Many of these folks are on limited fixed income. As such, they rely on the discounted pricing for food, clothing and household essentials that Wal-Mart provides. Unfortunately they will now have to travel all the way to 466 for that, or use their car.

And for the record, one can travel nearly the entire length of 441 on both sides in a cart to all of the shops, restaurants and medical buildings without ever needing to be on an amenity maintained path. I’ve mentioned this before on TOTV but some people insist on ignoring this fact.
