In order to get PF Chang for example, they had to do multiple fly-overs the area scoping out the housing and retail establishments. One of the things they look at is the length of the residential driveways....the longer the driveway, the more expensive the home. If that really is important criteria, The Villages will not qualify for high end restaurants!
I thought this tread was about high-end restaurants............not low end chains.
