New Town Square
 

I heard recently that the developer is going to be selling the property that the Brownwood town square was to be located on. New plans were to be for a mall to be built. Anyone else hear anything about this?

Sold to Disney
 

We really will have a Disney for Adults - here are some of the attractions:

Seniors of the Caribbean

Bumper Golf Carts

Mind Loss Toss

It's An Old World Afterall

Old Fella's Castle

Turn Signal Mania

Knee Sock Hop

Slow Your Pace Mountain

You heard.....where?

If you check out thevillagescommercial property.com you will discover that Brownwood is divided into two sections. Paddock Square is one and presumably the town square. The other is called Antrim Dell. Antrim Dell might be where the mall is located that you heard about. I have not heard anything about selling off the property but in this economy who knows.

Thanks for the info. I heard about this from a local real estate person, so tend to give it a little more credence than the usual rumors, but who knows. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Exactly...........:undecided:

I am retired from the real estate business and I must confess, a real estate office is a big rumor mill. I am not saying the local real estate person you refer to is spreading a rumor but, in general, they are no different than the general population.

The latest rumour I heard was that Brownwood was on hold until the faulty pumpimg stations are fixed.:faint:

We are really in need of that 3rd town square as the two existing squares are really taxed in Jan, Feb. and March. Try finding a place to even stand when Rocky and the Rollers are performing. I love their music but dislike the sardine feeling I get when I go down to the town square.

The third townsquare is on a slow pace because of the downturn of housing starts. Once The Villages announces that something will be built, they complete it

Does this mean there will be a Rocky and the Rollers II, seems like that is the only way to eliminate the crowd. Why would a third town square eliminate the crowd at SS, for these performers?

The intent of my posting was to suggest that the more options available in the evening, the less the crowd will be at any one area. By having 50's music at another square (to be built) when Rocky et al are performing at Sumter or Spanish Springs might encourage people who live close to the other squares not to go where it will most likely be very crowded.

In the simplest terms possible, if 5 people want to be entertained and there is only one option, then the 5 will all go to the same place. If there are 5 options it is possible they could go to any of the five and then there would only be 1 at each location.

In any event, we all look forward to the 3rd town square.

:agree::beer3:

If the developer were to go gangbusters on Brownwood and complete it within one year, every business in there would be bankrupt within two. A town square, especially that far south, needs a town. Until District 8 is completed and home construction starts south of 466A, the "Town Square" will remain unbuilt. However, County Administrative Offices and Library and the new hospital will start construction in that area pretty soon. Additionally, there is likely some non-Villages related commercial construction that may well be built. But Rocky ain't playing there.

New hospital? I don't think I've heard about this. Can you provide more details?
