Residents have seen the same action played out by the developer over and over...Silver Oak restaurant, closed for repairs; Chula Vista restaurant, closed for repairs; Santiago restaurant, closed for repairs; Orange Blossom County Club, closed for repairs. It remains to be seen if OBCC and the tiki bar will ever open again. The next restaurant in their sights is Tierra Del Sol.

Explain to me how closing restaurants benefit the owners of the buildings? It sounds like you mean it was done as a nasty act. It appears to me that the people who were renting didn't renew the lease. How do you see it, Janmcn?
From DAY one the Church on the Square was a musical venue. A church congregation used it for a year or so but since then it has only had one non denominational service per week with changing speakers and no other church activities. It was part of the "Look" of a Spanish town created by the developers with the help of their Disney advisors. We talked about this before on this forum and someone posted a link to a Presbyterian or Episcopal Church using the facility for a time at the beginning.
