Q: So... what did the chickens say to the frogs?
A: Eat mo beef.

Are you telling me that area south of 466A was Lil' Abner territory? If so, where is that gal now? She moved to Palm Beach and selling diamonds instead of chicken eggs?

Conversely, there may be a hen in the FOXhouse . . . .

I agree it should have been built in the middle between Morse and Buena
vista...this is not for the convience of The Villagers...it is to bring in Wildwood people ....they want to make money....but who is going to spend more money on the square....who is going to buy more drinks....I am very disappointed in the location...,but they don't care.

[billethkid]

if they didn't care you would not have what we all enjoy as TV!!

I am sure when they starting planning and building LSL town square the folks who live in "the historic side" of TV were wondering why they had to put it so far South!!!

Many of the retailers we have all come to enjoy need the non resident revenues to continue to be there for the rest of us.

Some could move to a point that is more central to everything that is to their liking....eh?

NOTHING the Morses do is random or done without careful thought and planning. There are very good reasons they are building Brownwood where they are, whether we realize it or not. These people have the best expertise for community planning the world has ever seen, and that is not hyperbole.

If you drew a circle..and think of The Villages as a face of a clock, Spanish Springs would be at about two o'clock and Brownwood would be at about seven o'clock and Lake Sumter Landing would be where the hands join. kinda...well east of that really.

I would like to make a statement that I am glad we don't have any input and glad that we don't have the right to vote on stuff like this. We have some pretty out there ideas on this forum and I am satisfied, no thrilled with the planning so far.

I have seen some gooney things happen when homeowners are running the HOA and that was in much smaller communities than this.

I have a neighbor, a friend, whose job throughout life was to plan communities and large areas in cities all over the world. And she is a big fan of The Villages.

I am now going to hide under the bed.

I agree,...I would rather live in a well planned, efficiently run kingdom versus a poorly run democracy! I'll be hiding under my bed now!

Hey all we need is a re-charging station and a bait shack halfway to Brownwood!

Spanish Springs & Lake Sumter Landing squares would not survive on Villagers $ alone. The visitors both near and far support our squares and they will support Brownwood too. Why are you dissapointed, have you bought already or planning to buy? If the former didn't you know where Brownwood was going to be, if the latter now you know and you can make your decision accordingly.
Saying that "they don't care" is just your opinion, as others have said this developer knows what he is doing.

Come on...let's see who else thinks they are in the middle.

This is fun.

Someone says that it is 17 miles from one end to the other, Is that from Orange Blossom Restaurant to Brownwood?

I'm in the middle....of the monkeys! Monkey in the middle!! Tag, your it...Wait, that's another game. I digress.
