I don't see what the buffalo has to do with this.

Is there something wrong in waiting until the business offices open tomorrow and asking someone knowledgeable like Janet Tutt? What will happen if there is some reasonable and plausible answer to all this?
Gracie, it is the only golf cart access to those specific medical buildings and doctors, the new urgent care center, Lowe's and several other unique shops and restaurants. And I don't think I've ever implied it was the only way out of the historic side.

The buffalo were removed in the middle of the night with no warning; the cowboy statue at Brownwood was removed in the middle of the night with no warning; Orange Blossom was closed with very little warning. It seems to be a pattern here -- remove it quickly and quietly; let Villagers complain, rant, plead but be assured it won't come back.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear the argument will be liability issues (it is not a smooth path). To me, that's the logical answer. It is done.

I don't know Florida law but my gut feeling is the only way that will be taken down is by a lawsuit for right of easement. I hope I'm wrong.
