I don't think they are having market night yet, but the Farmers Market is there on Saturday mornings. They are having a band every night at the square. City Fire has a food truck there, because their restaurant isn't open yet.

We've been splitting our time between Paddock Square and Sumter Landing Square.

I can't wait til more store are open too!

We drove through last night. My opinion, big yawn right now. I'm sure it will be much more fun when there are stores, restaurants, etc... but I was less than impressed. and the acoustics seemed way off.

Not to mention the roller coaster and the carousel of progress.

Well, it's not like it's the only option like at other retirement communities. You still have Lake Sumter and Spanish Springs.

We've been there a handful of times....a couple of day-times and again early last evening. It wasn't as crowded as the other two can be. But there was a fair-share of people in the bleachers and walking around.

BTW...the new movie theater is fun! Love the stadium seating and then there's the bathrooms (cute decor) and all the interesting antiques and such. Remember...this square is completed yet!! Was'nt here when the other two were being built but have to think all the buildings hadn't been put in there neither...Have patience! A year from now it will look like it's been here forever!

I was there a week ago and the square was full of people. There were lots of people dancing and listening to music.

Good detective work Patty. You can find a LOT of things on the internet if you know how.:beer3:

OR...you could give a sincere answer to a (presumably) sincere question.

SoozieQ, no - I don't think anyone posting on TOTV knows what retail shops will be opening in Brownwood.

I think that Patty was serious. I seriously responded to her. I KNOW that Macy's would be a much desired addition...but as many here know by now, no one ever knows until the sign goes up. There are rumors and innuendos and gossip and talk of contracts pending. But the people who ultimately decide never say a word until it is fact and then you read about it in The Daily Sun.

Except for Barnstorm Theater the Villages seems to keep a very small footprint from showing up on the Internet.

You can dig up information about various businesses, however, which are vying for licenses in Wildwood. http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/
