We pass by (466a just past Colony Plaza) each week or so. Burke’s, closed down for a few years now) WAS standing but now - Crunch. Bam. Boom.

No doubt banks took a heavy hit when they closed. Wonder if they have big plans there for building?

Oh, just another commercial development to cause further traffic congestion on 466a. But, please, not another car wash!

Wasn’t there a Winn Dixie announced for that location?

The Winn Dixie is supposed to be constructed on the east side of Micro Racetrack Road, just north of Rt 466A. The Burkes BBQ property was purchased by a company that builds apartment buildings.

I have heard that the Winn Dixie planned construction was cancelled when Aldi purchased the chain.

I remember reading about Burke’s around 2015? Or so. The city required him to put water main line for fire hydrant and other fire safety measures. IF I remember correctly he was not going spend thousands Maybe hundred thousands to put water mainline that city should have been responsible for blocks down street from his business so he closed up way I remember it?

My Landscaper told me that a Trader Joe's will replace Burkes.

Love it, LOL ! Do you think your neighbor got that straight from is second cousin's nephew who lives near the corporate headquarters in Monrovia, Calif. ? Maybe if we keep saying it (as we have been the 18 years we've been here) it will finally come true, but honestly, I doubt it...LOL ! At the same time, maybe we've just not been observant, but thought at least a year ago Portillo's was building a location near Tire Kingdom in Lady Lake. Maybe all the construction has obscured the new building ?

We liked Burke's. We miss it. Time marches on, taking some things and leaves only faded memories of cherished bits of the warmth and charm that enticed you here in the first place.
