Which town square is your favorite?
 

Which town square is your favorite ? Why ? Which Square has the best hometown feel ? How would you improve your favorite square ?

I like Brownwood because of the size and the bleacher seating.

Lake Sumter Landing...hands down.

All of them❤️

I live by Brownwood. My favorite is Spanish Springs. I like the world of beers, flippers for pizza, the variety of entertainment and the fountains.

Lake Sumter Landing is my favorite! :thumbup:

When we used to go to the squares it was Lake Sumter-after a few years, the novelty wore off-parking isn't worth the hassle , IMHO its TV's version of NY new years eve

Yes it’s crowded, yes we found parking that’s never a hassle and as close as we like.

Spanish Springs. It was the very first square we went to the first time we visited. It will always hold a special place in my heart!

Oh please...I spit out my beer on that one!! :D

Pretty ambivalent about them. Not really part of my lifestyle.

Lake Sumter....Love the water.

We use to sit in Panera’s planing our Open House searches. Love the vibe of this Square.

LSL; closer to home and shops to browse through. SS rates up there also, just hate traveling up Morse in the cart.

Spanish Springs would be our first choice. We think Lake Sumter is better when we have visitors from the north. Lucky to have all three of them.

LSL - Tonight we walked the length of the boardwalk - captivatingly beautiful sky and water at 7 p.m. I think the stadium seating at Brownwood expands seating options for big ticket bands.

All 3 are great, but LSL gets my vote for the best. The views across the lake with the palms growing from the sand traps on Palmer are priceless. Also, the eats at the Lighthouse are near to my heart as a seafood loving NewEnglander.

We love the small town atmosphere of Spanish Springs and watching people having fun in their senior years. And, we never have trouble parking, there are so many lots behind the stores. Also love Lake Sumter Landing, but have trouble parking there. Both are great!

Lsl.

I like Lake Sumter Landing, by far.

I do, however, wish the center gazebo was at one end of the square. I don’t like to watch the sides or backs of the musicians on crowded days.

I've always liked Spanish Springs because it seems to be the most friendly. Sumter Landing is second. But I'm a long timer here so I'm probably a bit biased. I've had many good times at all three.

Lake Sumter #1 Closest nice Atmosphere & the Lake & The Movie
Brownwood #2 Restaurants, Movie Theater & Parking
Spanish Springs #3 Besides Katie Bealls & The Movie not much else

We rarely go anymore after being here ten years. We like to show them to company who haven't been here.

Lake Sumter Landing because of the boardwalk and the views of the lake. And it has the most good memories of visiting nieces and nephews.

#1: LSL - water and Panera's

#2: SS - Water and the Statue. Stayed there for our first visit

Brownwood - never go. No opinion.

Lake Sumter

My favorite square is the one that I happen to need to go to at that time. We are blessed to have 3 totally different ones. Always something new to see and they are all beautiful and creative. Better then 3 cookie cutter gathering areas that other developments have, I actually do like the look of Brownwood as it reminds me of the old Frontier Town that I visited as a child. Lived by the water, been there done that and still love it but if you look at the structures in Brownwood it certainly looks like a hometown that possibly my ancestors lived and worshiped in the little white church.

They all have their good and bad points. I like Paddock as it is not as crowded as Sumter and not as far as Spanish Springs, the 8 restaurants give a good selection, the lines for drinks is not as long as at the others, the bleacher seating keeps the sun off and rain too in some sections, it gets the same entertainment as the other squares and lots of parking. With new restaurants coming and more commercial space being built, it will gradually become even better. The ever increasing population of villages south of 44 will attract more businesses in the near future. Rumor has it that there are negotiations underway for a restaurant in the building that was occupied by the German restaurant, if true that will add to the square's amenities.

Was the Frontier Town you spoke about in upstate New York? I went there as a kid. It was in the Lake George area I believe. We were "held up" by bandits while riding a stage coach. Such fun!

The North Pole and Fairy Town was in the area too. Great memories from my childhood.

Wow, an opinion poll post that's 3 pages long already and not a single person yet offended because someone else picked a different square than they like or are near. Nice job.

My favorite square is always the one, on any given evening, that has the best live entertainment. Maybe I should post a "who is the best band?" thread and sit back with a bucket of popcorn.

:popcorn:

SS is the first square I visited way back when, so it hold a special place in my heart. Happy hour is 2 hours as opposed to one hour, in the other squares.

LSL is the most picturesque.

The best square is the one I'm in. LOL

Yes, Frontier Town was in upstate NY...

LSL is my favorite but I do enjoy the unique environmental flavor and character of each square. After all, variety is the spice of life.

The North Pole had its own Post Office at one time, no more. [emoji53]

There were two. One was a cowboy western theme and the other Davy Crockett kind of stuff.

I have seen all of them, and I like none of them even though they may be cute or pretty. I prefer a real town square with lots of historical character, mature landscaping, and beautiful older houses. A perfect example would be Savannah, GA.

Which town square is your favorite?
 

Come on, go with it. Think how it started ...

If I were 30 years older I would have gone for this.

Great point on the 2 hour happy hour. Not only 2 for 1, but twice as long. And SS springs also has the Sharon, easily the best entertainment venue in TV.

Does anyone know WHY happy hour at SS is double trouble ?
