Drive past during the day...the parking lot is jammed/full. Also Walgreens on that end as well needs some help by having a CVS nearby.

From where I live it takes about 8 minutes to drive to Publix on 466a. To get to either of the Publix stores on 441 is 22+ minutes. That is not acceptable for a gallon of mike or really even for the bulk of my shopping. It takes about 9-10 mins to Sweetbay but we know their selection is limited. Once you get to Publix lot it is a struggle for the next two hours to get a spot and to get in and out. Add to the fact that is it basically unsafe to shop there even if only from a fire egress point of view. I wonder how much over the legal limit they are for fire code?

If we are making a "south Villages" wish list I would like a Trader Joes and a Walmart or a Target superstore. A Wendy would be nice as well as some decent restaurants. When I moved here they never mentioned we would be the ******* step children for so long. In 2009 they said retail was coming to 466a. I guess they meant the tire store since that is the only new place I can think of. We are on our knees down here. Oh yeah, put Costco on that list.
