I drove through there (Bexley Drive) for the first time Friday on my way to the turnpike. It is enormous. I thought the constuction would never end. That is a major league project. Infrastructure is being laid or the next decade!!

I’m all about it.
But get a good look at it in this dawn or dusk timeline picture. Once completed, those roads will not be as user friendly as they appear in the photo

By then there will be more expansions. We are most likely just at the beginning of development. The ball is rolling.

50 more acres and TV can declare itself a separate state.

That will end ToTV as we know it.....strictly from a ‘no political references’ standpoint!

In 10-years, Orlando will be a suburb of TVs. Just picture the gas and charging stations along the 6-lane MMTs heading south. It'll become a whole new revenue source for the Morse's.
