If you get up and go to Publix at 8 in the morning it is empty.
So true. Where I lived, I had an unbelievably great ride of 3 minutes into "town" but still had to drive 20 minutes to a Walmart, Target, Costco or a "chain store" or a chain restaurant. I was so amazed to see how much was within a 10 minute drive here from any point in TV. I am actually one of the ones who would like them to forego making 466A a duplicate of 466 leaving it to be a bit of rural beauty and a reality check that you are in Florida and not the TV bubble ...hoping development will all take place down on the other side of Bwood but it looks like that is not going to happen.
