I understand this somewhat. What I mean is, yeah I like the golf cart lifestyle. I like going to the squares or whatever, but the fact I may need to take the car for some things doesn't detract from that at all. I guess there are folks that never want to leave the bubble. But for me it seems normal to do both.

Oh, I do both, as well... But I also want to be able to take the golf cart for a quick run to the Publix in Lake Deaton Plaza, or the smaller Walmart off Moyer loop...

Plus, there are 20+ restaurants I can go to in my cart, all within 10-15 minutes...

I'm close to Lake Deaton Plaza, Colony Plaza, Pinellas Plaza, Brownwood and Lake Sumter Landing. Not to mention 5-6 Country Clubs that are very close. Spanish Springs is a car ride.

We'll drive the car if we want to eat at the Mexican place @ 44 & 301, or Sammy's/Napolinos, or Pho Saigon farther up on 301 and 466. We've also driven up to Ocala for dinner. (I highly recommend Mark's!), and down to Leesburg and Mt Dora.

I'll use the car to go to Lowes on 466A or Ace (on 301), or when we go shopping off 466A, 466 and 441...

So no, I'm not averse to "leaving the bubble"...

It's important TO US to have options. What is important TO OTHERS only matters to them...

Curious if I lived in the Meggisen and Chandler area where do I go for a quart of milk?

Publix or Winn Dixie. Or the market at Sawgrass. This comment is getting old. Of course that’s because I see it in every thread about our area. Surprisingly I don’t lose weight from starving when I’m at my Villages house.

There's a Publix and an Aldi 2 miles away at Lake Harris Square.

I'm just trying to see all the places I can go in the golf cart. It appears that it's about a 10-12 minute GC ride to the nearest pool. Is a 30 minute gc ride feasible to go play golf? At least 20 minutes to Eastport?

I'm just trying to figure out things and that's hard to do from 1k miles away. Thanks for the info.

Where is the Aldi??

they probably mean the Winn Dixie at the corner of 27 & 48

From Chandler and Meggison it's 3.4 miles.

Did you not like the answers you got the first two times you asked? And you remain curious. Interesting.

I know that Aldi bought WD but I think that store is still a WD. Or has it converted to an Aldi?

No. I know that there are shopping centers in Leesburg I just wondered if I was missing something. Where do you go for a haircut? If you shop in Leesburg you might as well live there. My feeling is that they sold that area before building anywhere else is that that's the least desirable area to live. Just an example, when there's construction of the Turnpike folks use 470 as an alternative. It's bumper to bumper all the way from Rt. 27. It would take a half hour at least to get to the Publix.

I honestly curious why you care one way or the other?

None of this is a concern. The golf cart is for fun and when I go to Brownwood I can hop over to Publix. Sometimes I take the cart to Magnolia. I have time and enjoy the trips. Personally I don't want to be so close to big shopping places. A little drive is fine.

Aldi
 

It likely will be converted to an ALDI. There are no Winn Dixie competitors in that area. This is the opposite of what will happen to Winn Dixie in Wildwood. There is already an ALDI just a block and a half from the Winn Dixie there. You will also see the Winn Dixie in Sumter Landing converted to an ALDIs.
