...... food & beverage service on the championship golf courses.
diabetics must eat regularly . . hot dogs, ham/turkey/tuna sandwiches on rye or whole grain. Even if it were only availalble at the turn would be great!


....... restroom facilities on the SE side of Spanish Springs (near the radio station) :beer2:

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

I'll go with Handie's list and add a Michael's.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Agree with a Michael's. :agree:


Add a Boston Market and a Fuddruckers.

It would be nice to have a major league spring training facility or a minor league franchise with a stadium like Roger Dean in Jupiter.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

1. Real security gates for each Village.
2. Daily Sun would report both good and bad news.
3. Longer Happy Hours in the Village Centers
4. A real Country Club for members only.
5. A Fine Arts Center that would seat more than the Savannah Center.
6. A couple of quiet upscale intimate dinning restaurants.
7. Better designed traffic circles.
8. Public transportation.

These are a few of the things that I would like to see.

I heard that there were some letters for voting for Hillary Clinton printed in the Villages Daily Sun today? :dontknow: I am in shock. The VDS does not strike me as being a paper with a Democratic slant.

You see a lot of Ann Coulter's stuff in other words in the VDS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter

A drive-thru Timmy's with outdoor tables (Tim Horton's coffee place in Canada and NY) located in Sumter Landing.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

I agree with The Gray Hog. :agree:

Recharging stations at the restaurants and markets.

Don't know what Timmy's is :dontknow: :dontknow:

Another vote for secure gates in every village

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Doggone it Nonie, you beat me to it. I was going to say Me. But what the heck, I'll say it anyway. I wish the Villages had me, and hubby Dewey!

Nonie, Ouma, JJ and all who can't be here yet, those of us who are here agree. We want you here, too!!!!

Happy Birthday Red, Wish we could have been there. One of these days.................

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

the wish for public transportation in tv needs to be changed to wishing for better public transportation as sumter county transit does provide both scheduled bus service thru tv
primarily to shopping plazas.,as well as door to door service primarily for doctor's appointments both in TV and in a limited way outside of sumter county. 568-MOVE.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

I agree w/MMC24's list, especially that we need actual security gates for every Village.

Also agree w/Handie's suggestions. I think Trolley Service would be great.

We also need:

Another facility like Katie Belle's, as it gets very crowded
Trader Joe's
JoAnne Fabrics
Calico Corners
Hobby Lobby
Michael's

I was in Michael's in Ocala today, and the cashier told me that Michael's will open in TV in Oct. 08. I hope it's true! I had previously seen somewhere that an AC Moore is coming to TV. I'd be happy with either, as they are fairly similar AFAIK.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

A real good seafood place serving Chesapeake Bay style food. Mummmmmmmm

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

In addition to all previously mentioned, Yes you too Nonie, I would like to have afforable fitness centers. Included with my amenity fees of course.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Red Lobster

Bereavement support group. It seems there is always an ongoing need for this type of group. We all lose loved ones at one time or another and I know how helpful this type of group can be at such a devastating time. :'(

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

remember you are not building an empire but a lifestyle. someone posted this last year to remind people about the simple life. I can not wait to move there.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Speaking from the other side of town near The Colony Plaza, I would like to see a Starbucks, a SuperTarget (not just a Target) more fast food places. I agree with a Joann's, Michaels, etc. I know they're just building Colony up, so I'll try to be patient. I would also like to see a good old diner/coffee shop, and I've always liked Denny's! Also, ditto on the security gates.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

I know a lot of people would like to see real security gates. We were told when we lived in another part of Florida, that if we would "gate" our community, we would then be responsible financially for our roads. The county would no longer keep them up as they do not keep up roads that limit access. This is just a thought. Is having a "real security gate" important enough that we would want the expense of the upkeep of our streets.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

No berms but the golf cart drive in movies that have been held at the Polo Field a couple times a year are fun. Room for a chaise or two and tailgating if you want.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Places to walk with dogs.

Wishes do come true --- The Daily Sun reported today that Kohl's has bought 42 acres on 27/441 from the Benchmark Group (developer of the Rolling Acres/441 shopping area). I'm thinking that in 1 1/2 years, at the most, myself and hundreds of other women in The Villages are going to be delighted to be able to shop at Kohl's again.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Great - We can finally move there - My wife would never move anywhere without a Kohl's in easy reach!

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

For those who have never heard of "timmies' it is a Tim Horton coffee and donut facility which better than anything I have had in Florida. Mainly located in Canada but starting to branch out to New York state. For the lucky owners it is a "licence to steal"..I live in a city of 50,000 and we have 8 tim horton restaurants and all are incredibly busy all day long. They are all drive through(but you can go inside as well) so you just order your coffee and donut etc (they do have breakfast sandwiches as well) and you are through in a minute. Streets in town are blocked with people getting in line in the morning to get their 'fix". The coffee must have cocaine or something because people cannot start their day without it. Wish I had the money and the permission to start one in TV because I would be rich in no time and would treat you all to a great 'happy hour'.

Looks like there are over 3000 of these fast food restaurants in Canada and a few US states. There are even more of these than McDonalds in Canada.

One will come to the TV eventually especially with how often TV shows up on national TV.

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Swrinfla,

Cant thank you enough for this valuable information. I had no idea about these groups but then Im not in TV most of the year. This is so good to know, Gracias! :bigthumbsup:

Re: I wish the Villages had a ........
 

Being from Canada, I'm a huge Tim Horton fan. In fact, I got so excited thinking about Timmie's coffee I just sent a blank post.

Tim's coffee is similar to the water in TV .... they put something in it that makes you return again, and again, and again. 040

Oh, and my wish is for a fenced Dog Park in TV. It is very much needed.
