Could be but I find it very odd that they built a town square on the very edge of The Villages. It's three miles from Spanish Springs Town Square to Market Square in LSL. It's about eight miles from LSL to Brownwood. If 44 is to be the southern most point of TV, would it have made more sense to build a town square that is more accessible to all of the people from LSL to 44?

That and the fact that none of the signage has the words The Villages on it makes me wonder if what these people are saying might be true.

Doc - isn't SS located in a similar manner on the edge. And 441 is much busier than 44.

hmm, let's see, the signs direct you to Brownwood which just happens to be next to the site that is supposed to house 500,000 sq ft of shopping, the Antrim dells mall......nope sounds about right to me.
:shrug:

It was my belief that once I bought my house in The Villages that no others would be allowed?

IIRC, Brownwood is a joint project of TV and Wildwood and there is some type of revenue sharing with the city. That may explain the absence of The Villages on some signs.

The turnpike is on the way to Disney. When I was forty, with a minivan load of kids heading to Disney, I would have been curious enough to stop. It certainly would have planted some seeds.

True, but SS was at the center of The Villages when it was built. I don't know if they had planned on expanding past 466 at that point. If you look at a map of The Villages north of 466 you'll see that SS Tow Square is fairly centrally located. Especially on a north west to south east line.

SS Town Square is accessible to the area near Lopez and everything in between. There is a lot of The Villages to the north west of Town Square.

Maybe the developer is planning on expanding south of 44.

If the business's in our town squares only had Villagers for customers they wouldn't last long.

Since Brownwood is in Wildwood, I would think it had to be a joint project with some revenues flowing to the city.

I think here is how it works. Spanish Springs is sorta at the top.

Lake Sumter Landing is sorta in the middle.

And Brownwood is in the south and at the bottom. They are all fine where they are.

I can't see why their location is a matter of concern. They all seem to be in areas where we can take a nice ride and get to them. Some are closer to us than others.

For all the rude comments about Brownwood in multiple threads, we haven't had anyone be arrested for "dancing the dance of love" on our stage. I haven't seen seat saving problems. In fact, generally speaking, people move over and make room for late arrivers. Drug arrests? Nope that was another square. We have fantastic restaurants around the square. I love my little Brownwood.

excuse me but all the squares are part of TV so everything that goes on at any square is also yours. I don't really appreciate trying to disparage the events at squares further from you as if to say you're better than others, it will come back to haunt you when the additional shopping is built and Brownwood gets more crowded.
