And there were many shops that have left when the villages began to expand.
Please don't push an agenda where it is not wanted the libaray was located in town across from the school where the kids could use it now look where it is not very accessible for the kids.
There also was a craftt store, clothing, store, serveral restaurants, a gas station in the middle of town,jewelry store, an iga, and others. So most of the blame goes to the mayor who thinks the villages
Will handle everything. And for the trains several years ago the rail system was changed freight on the west and passenger on the east that includes auto train. Help TV wildwood is OK.

I just took the time to read all of your posts and many have great wisdom in them. I have always wondered if you live in The Villages or in Wildwood.
In all of your posts you get straight to the point and say just how you feel and many times you have made me think differently.
I am only two years younger than you but hope to be as smart someday.
I think any town improves when valid business is there. I think that the business drawn to the constantly growing Villages will in time also support and grow Wildwood. You have to have some NEEDED or POPULAR or DESIRED product or service to sell to people in order for it to be successful and then successful business encourages and draws more business that feeds the tax base that makes things all fancy and pretty.. I think the fact that Wildwood is so close to a large populated area will eventually cause Wildwood to draw a lot business to it.
You can have a plan, but you also have to have a need for that particular business and people who want to take the financial risk. Mount Dora has a lot of boutique-y things that cause people to come visit once or twice, but the lake and the restaurants and perhaps the well funded Civic theatre bring them back.
You can do blueprints and nice layouts but that in itself isn't "gonna cut the mustard" as me and Grannynance might say.
Grannynance? You from Ohio?
