Creekside Landing is across the street (Old Mill Run). The entrance to these new CYV is labelled "Edgewater Bungalows."

Maybe it's simply to test us oldsters???????????????

P.S.: Who's old?
Is that published somewhere?

Someone posted this a while ago:

There are three Villages of Bridgeport. All Premier villages.

They are;

Bridgeport at Lake Sumter. (You can see it across the lake when you eat outside at the Lighthouse)
Bridgeport at Lake Miona. It is next to Lake Miona rec center off Buena Vista to the WEST. Bridgeport is off of Buena Vista to the EAST.
Then there is Bridgeport at Miona Shores. It is off of Buena Vista, off Rainey Trail, just past the public boat dock.

THREE. I tell you THREE.

The others, ie, Creekside Landing etc. just go by Crieekside Landing. I feel very sure of this.

You guys haven't got it figured out. Bridgeport is a code name. It means "premier". When you're at the cocktail party and ask where he lives, the simple answer "Bridgeport" says as much as he needs to say and as much as you need to know.

Five or ten years ago folks just had to say "Harmeswood" or "Hickory Hammock", but now, with so many premier neighborhoods we need just one name to convey the important message.

That would be me that posted that...... And I was sure. But I was wrong. I am often wrong.

Whatever you want to believe, BUT it is as simple as looking at the new CYV's at Mission Hills in the paper or online--- they are advertised to be in Bridgeport. Correct me if I am wrong! I know, maybe these are PREMIER villas!

The important message is ________________________ and it's

......but Sam, one has but to read the softball box scores in the Daily Sun to learn that "our" Bridgeport at Lake Sumter has the best softball teams. Passed your house again.....the work you've done looks great.

Thanks, Cabo. Hu and I have been hauling some rock. Neither of us have ever been afraid of hard work. It started with building a privacy hedge between our neighbors new pool and ours. I guess it got good to us, so Home Depot is delivering stone on a regular basis.;-) and we are stoning the works!
Not having the heavy equipment we have up in Pa, we are using our poor golf cart to haul stone around. It's a four seat Western and it will take a load!!! We have had mounds of dirt and mulch dropped that we shovel it into buckets and onto the cart. I miss our big John Deere with 60" bucket and Kubota ATV with dump truck back. If we ever get that t-bird out of the garage here, the Kubota is coming to Florida! Just think of the yard projects we could do then!!
And yes, we do have a great softball team!

Just curious, do you need ARC approval to "stone the works"? Regardless, Everything Samhass does, she does with class! Fireboy would like to bring his Backhoe to TV, but it has to stay in Canada at the cottage!
