The Building of Brownwood - Latest
 

Amazing! To think that the Morse family had Brownwood in sight before they even built one single home south of 466! Such foresight! Incredible!

Enjoy!

The Villages Vmail - February 2012 - Home

Just drove past there today and it's amazing how much progress there is....LOTS of activity with the building from Brownwood all the way up on Buena Vista to 466A (both sides of the road!!! The addage of "build it and they will come" is a happening deal here in TV.....

They need to get it as soon as possible to remove the over crowding at Lake Sumter. It is well, well over what it can handle.
Just glad it will be ready for next snow bird season.

I wonder if we will have more choices of movies with 3 theaters.

What are the crowds like at Spanish Springs this winter now that snow bird season is at it's peak?

spanish springs can get pretty crowded too.. depending on the night and who's playing the music and the weather....

REALLY? what makes you think that?

I just hope they have the same type of seating for the disabled that they do at Lake Sumter Landing Old Mill Theater.......they are in the middle of the theater, not up at the top. My Patrick has a visual disability, and at Rialto Theater in Spanish Springs we transfer him from the wheelchair to a seat in the middle of the theater.......we try to avoid that, if possible.

:agree:

Listen to episode 2. It was stated in that video!

Went to see a movie in SS and then Rocky and the Rollers.MANY seats roped off or saved somehow by noon! Couldn't move in the square but had front row for R&R. Folks came in at 5:00 looking for chairs....yeah riiiiiiight

Folks leaning on the ashtrays yelled at smokers trying to use them...tempers were high

Come on April!!!!!!

Someone has to do something about the reserved seating at the squares. This is one of the negative' about The Villages. The same thing went on in Smithtown, Long Island for their free concerts. Perhaps seating shouldn't take place until 6:30 and then there is pick a number. We spoke about if Gary Morse reads Talk Of The Villages. IF he does "Hey Gary!!! Do something about it. This is not fair. Show us you're one of us and right the wrongs." Gary? Gary? Are you listening???

Yes it is out of control. On parade days folks "save" a table by having 1 person stand guard from the time they put them out..... People who bring their own chairs should not be allowed to set them up in the access areas to the dance floor/area
We are learnig rom our 1st "in season" but going to the squares is not on my list of favorites until after April too many people and way too much attitude

Drove to Brownwood site yesterday....ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I needed a full tank of gas (IN MY CAR) to get back home, north of 466.
Definitely won't be the place to go for us. It's one helluva drive for those folks in the newer areas St. James and Sanibel too

FYI, I measured 4.4 miles to LSL, and Brownwood from my home in Tamarind Grove. Seems like a good spot to be.

Overcrowding
 

Really, hurry! Last Friday night at the square was absurd.
