Rent a golf cart for a week, take your map and go from Brownwood to Mulberry Grove. 8. Buy Village Daily Sun on Thursday look at the recreation section, go to some of the scheduled activities. Buy a $5 map. Most important thing on the list.
6.Check out both Wal-Marts??? Really? Did we miss out on something by not experiencing the local Wal-Marts? When we were there I can guarantee that's the last place we wanted to go......there was so much in TV to see & do. Sorry, just had to ask.

Definitely take the Trolley tour.....you can see so much more of the beauty of this wonderful community sitting high up in the trolley buses than you can in a car, or even a SUV.

Try & take in a show at Savannah Center. We visited TV for the first time in Dec 2012, and saw a wonderful "Christmas in Ireland" show there. It had a little bit of everything: singers, dancers, various musicians, comedy....just a great evening of entertainment. One of our fondest memories from our entire visit there.

As others have said, just get out & wander thru the neighborhoods, the town squares, the shops & restaurants and don't be afraid to ask folks questions. Everyone we engaged in conversation was friendly & eager to talk about TV. I guarantee you're going to love it!! After you're back home be sure & write about your experience. Have fun!!
