In the beginning (I am told) Lake Sumter Landing had far fewer commercial businesses; restaurants, shops etc than it does now and eventually those were built when businesses wanted to be there. And very quickly grew to the size it is now. That was built 10-12 years ago when the whole country was not in an economic downturn and chains were expanding.

I don't know about the dancing part, I didn't really notice that it would be a detriment to all of the line dancers who I personally would NEVER get good enough to join but ...are you SURE it is too little?

I am pretty sure that one of those bronze cows probably cost as much as one of our houses. All of the finishes and the decor of the movie house and the sales center are just...top of the line. I just can't hear the word cheap and the word Brownwood all in the same sentence.

Now I feel better.

I don't know Gary Morse but gosh...that would hurt my feelers if I built it.
Gracie...I agree with you that there is nothing cheap about Brownwood. Unfortunately, yes, the dance floor is very small, especially with all the folding chairs that will occupy precious dance floor space. When I was there last evening, there were still many chairs that had not been put out yet. To the sides of the band stand, there is limited space for dancing because those areas look to be a walk through for pedestrians in the area. Behind the band stand is not for dancing at all as it is only a large side walk. Sorry, but IMHO, they really messed up with the space issue for dancing.
