I love Graciegirl's general positive attitudes about TV, but must say that I am a bit disappointed in her views on this. In other posts she has talked about the congestion at Publix at Colony and said you have to take turns breathing there and advised people to buy in areas where there is not so much congestion. Yet, now that she no longer lives there she is more than happy to see an additional 4,000 people contend for that store as well as the Colony Cottage rec center.
There is still a lot of undeveloped land up near Southern Trace. I wonder if people who live in that area would be as positive about future development if that becomes the next growth area and thousands of additional people go to that Publix and contend for activities at Laurel Manor. Just because recent growth has been to the south, it doesn't mean that that's the only place that it will go.

I hate when people are disappointed in me. I am a firstborn.
I have this to say about that. If you carefully have read a lot of posts for several years you will see that people never thought that the Lake Sumter Landing area would have business to rent it, and business around it. I think that as the need is perceived by businesses, that they will come and fill the need for grocery stores, doctors, hair salons and restaurants. That is the beauty of capitalism and free enterprise. Unfortunately, or fortunately for them, the landowners around the new builds are holding on for a very high price for their property and the business may be built down the road and not golf cart accessible, but sooner or later, I think it will fill in, later than some want but sooner than some think.
It will all work out, I think.
It will be hell on wheels during the months of January, February and March when our population swells. But the wise will stay a bit out of harms way, cook at home more, golf at places they haven't gone before, let the seat savers have at it and work around it.
And the grasshoppers need to be patient. It will come. It will come.
