I would also point out there is a lot of room for expansion there (unlike the landlocked Lake Sumter), both by the developer and by outside interests, as by Spanish Springs. I think in the long run that will give us a very interesting area, different from the other two. I'm sure the developer could have opened the square complete with several restaurants and stores, but having those "pioneers" go out of business because the traffic hadn't gotten high enough yet would be a real negative. They've got the movies and the music, so there is a reason to come, and the farmer's market seems to be a great hit. I really am looking forward to seeing that in March.
