The parking is easier in Brownwood as well......for now anyway...... Love the bleachers.....

Really ? Your Brownwood ? So I guess LSL is mine. :p

Boy, jumping on VJ for stating her opinion. All she's saying is she likes it better than the other squares, and why.

According to the OP, you and your minivan load of kids would see the sign as you were heading home from Disney. This sounds like the well-thought out plan to turn Brownwood into a destination for Florida tourists returning from Disney, or cruises, or beaches.

Actually, the post stated that the billboard is visible going north before the Villages exit.

You didn't hear or I wasn't clear. I was defending all past threads bad mouthing Brownwood.

Term of endearment.

This is not my battle but I fail to see your perceived ill intent. I read it as more of a tongue-in-cheek retort.

And the sign would be seen by out of staters heading north with a minivan full of kids.

And there is a sales office in Brownwood. After spending the day at Disney and a minivan full of kids, an all adult community might look enticing.

You got it!!

As well they should considering that the Sumter County Tourist Development Board gives $$$$$ for "entertainment" in the TV squares.

Brownwood will one day soon become a dynamic town square like Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter. The buildings are there, they are charming and the lore of Brownwood is hard to resist.

But those buildings need to be filled with great retailers and fun restaurants. Brownwood needs to get lots of traffic there to get businesses interested in coming there.

I think the advertising is great!

If we did not have "outsiders" here, we would have really boring squares with minimal retail and dining. The visitors, potential buyers, guests and relatives keep the squares and the entertainment top notch. That is.... unless we want higher amenity fees to off set the $$ spent by those "outsiders".

The Brownwood sign on the turnpike is very near the new coming (yet to be finished)exit off the turnpike for The Villages that will exit straight onto what becomes Morse Blvd. Excellent marketing use and location.
