Thank you, in advance, for your response.
The answer to that is a resounding YES. People use all facilities much more at first.

We swam daily at first and joined all kinds of things at rec centers. Now we have a circle of friends with whom we do things with and do not use the amenities nearly as much.

We live in a new village on 466 and the art room at Laurel Manor is always less crowded than the one at Colony was, when we used to live in Hadley. The same with the nearby pools, and even the northern golf courses, except for high season.

The commercial businesses will catch up but we are just now coming out of a national economic bad time and it will take a while for new business expansion to be part of planning for some companies. I hope Publix gets the message. I don't want the overflow at our nice Publix on 466.
