delima2000 07-04-2012 06:59 PM

I heard it was going to be between the Orange and Banana stores. The Costco and Trader Joe's are going to be the anchor stores at either end.:highfive:

That would be me. I love those things :mmmm:

Bill-n-Brillo 07-05-2012 05:53 AM

For your closest "White Castle substitute" fix: Krystal in Ocala!!! :icon_hungry:

Bill :)

pfhannan 07-05-2012 06:14 AM

I haven't heard, but hope so. I now have to travel to Altimonte for serious issues.

shalomuall 07-05-2012 07:42 AM

What, no Trader Joe's, Costco or Wegmens? They did not disclose that when we purchased our home. LOL

gvsulakerfan 07-05-2012 07:46 AM

Haven't you rumor starters read the Steve Jobs book? There is a whole section in there that talks about Apple Stores, where they put them where they put them and why. Apple predominately chooses mall settings for their stores with very few stand alone or strip mall stores.

Brownwood doesn't fit the mold.

jerseyvillager 07-05-2012 07:47 AM

While Castle
 
Wow! That's at least two "rat burgers" they will sell.

delima2000 07-05-2012 08:24 AM

Krystal's are ok the buns are too thick. If you ever had fresh white castle right off the grill you know what I mean. Nobody beats white castle. The frozen ones are all right but no pickles if you need a fix they will do. Have to make a road trip to Tennessee to get my favorites white castle and Culver's.

Double Bogie 07-05-2012 08:32 AM

Went to Brownwood Acres yesterday, the original one in Central Lake, MI. The only apple I saw was on a tree.

Yankee Quilter 07-05-2012 08:40 AM

In and Out Burger anyone?

Villageshooter 07-05-2012 08:42 AM

with all these desires,, maybe we all should just move back home!!! NOT!!!!

We'll be there soon too. I spent my summers on Torch Lake 100 yards from Brownwood and would go to the "Honey House" almost every day.

I was going to add maybe the "Apple" store poster heard that Brownwood would have some Cherry or Apple butter and heard the rumor wrong.

gvsulakerfan 07-05-2012 09:29 AM

I also grew up in Central Lake. Say hello to Torch Lake for me.

batman911 07-05-2012 11:09 AM

I believe the TV demographic is not what Apple would look for as a customer base. The reason they prefer malls is that is where the young folks hang out. You know, the ones with all the money that just have to have the latest devices.

mmmmmmm...love it when the buns get mushy!

Chathamguy 07-05-2012 12:21 PM

Yes, it will be a U-PICK apple store!

asianthree 07-05-2012 01:49 PM

we filled out the questions on what we wanted so we should get an apple

kb8tpw 07-05-2012 02:14 PM

Here is a vote for In-and-Out from a die hard White Castle and Cincinnati chili fan. Lived in Ohio for years but business took me to CA every other week or so. When they put the In-And-Out Burger close to LAX that really made it great for arrival and departure fixes until the next trip. It's too bad that the Trader's Joes front office has a thing about expanding to FL. They are a natural for The Villages.

Bonny 07-05-2012 03:05 PM

We used to go to Torch Lake a lot and used to go to Brownwood. It's such a nice area up there.

De Lis 07-05-2012 04:24 PM

What's an Apple Store?

Buzz Bowman 07-05-2012 04:36 PM

Make my In-N-Out a Double Double prepared Animal Style! :)

jerseyvillager 07-05-2012 05:23 PM

Just the best computer facility in the world.

Central Lake- Do you remember the Chatterbox?
Now its the Blue Pelican.
Such memories and now we are here with Brownwood and Torch River Drive.

Bonny 07-05-2012 09:04 PM

Kind of feels like I'm back in Michjgan. LOL

GaryW 07-06-2012 06:25 AM

Apple Store would be great, but do no think it would survive.. There are alot of Apple users here :bigbow:

But it really craves the younger crowd also... That is a high end store, just do not see it staying afloat afte reading the demographics they lurk for.

StuMas 07-06-2012 07:27 AM

I think a campaign to bring in White Castle is a brilliant idea. Love the onions.
