After about 20 minutes a police officier pulled up and said he was just told that are delaying the opening for a couple more days and they was going to put the baricades back up. We tried to take a few pictures and our camera battery died. He did say a soft opening in two days. So all of Villagers and future Villagers know this weekend it will be crowded in Brownwood. I think the movie theater, Sales office, Mearchantile and Logo store will be open. City Fire has more work to be done.

Thanks, new peeps.

Came by Brownwood about noon and a police car had the entrance blocked.

Lots of cars (employees maybe ?) parked in the surrounding lots.

Does that mean the cart path is now open or do you have a street legal cart?

Follow up regarding the cart path
 
Group, Re: Golf cart path. This morning all of the baricades was gone. We drove down the cart path all the way into Brownwood. Only two tunnels under the road was open. My golfcart is not street legal. I would say by 9:30 A.M. the villages put the baricades back up. We was told they are delaying the soft opening for two more days before we left. It was probably a good decision as it looked like to much construction was still going on to have a lot of golf cart traffic mixed with contractor trucks and dump trucks still working in the area. I will say Brownwood is nice. I am impressed with what I seen. The transitions from the golf cart trail to the road crossings on the way down is so smooth it is no longer is like hitting a speed breaker. Me and my back thanks the people involved in making that happen. Now if they can fix the older areas. :coolsmiley:

Yea I saw the barricades get removed early this AM on my morning ride. Later when I went to go down in the GC everything was back up. Still to much going on.The old Wildwood groweres market is supposed to be there this weekend.

newpeeps, Thanks for the information. I will be arriving in TV this weekend - for once in my life I may have timed something correctly :).

There is a story in The Daily Sun today stating that Wildwood city commissioners approved an ordinance, Monday evening, to allow golf cart traffic in Brownwood. Apparently that is required since part of Brownwood in within Wildwood city limits. Probably explains why the golf path was unblocked and then blocked.

Cool. Have to see if the Barnstorm Theater lists movies yet. Had thought Seven Psychopaths was set to open in the Villages but do not see it on the Fandango listings for Friday, October 12.

I am assuming the theater is opening Friday too...they aren't publicizing anything because it's a "soft opening" via word-of-mouth but the movie theater is 100% done.
