Those photos are amazing, wonder how many people will jam on their brakes afraid to hit the cows.

Went to Brownwood this morning for the farmer's market -- quite a nice one. The sales office is gorgeous; obviously The Villages spared no expense to make it look very rustic and authentic. According to one of the ladies in the sales office City Fire will be opening in mid-November.

I loved how they put the hoof prints in the concrete.

How far is it by cart from Sumter Landing?

Is it golf cart accessable all the way?

It is straight south on Buena Vista until it dead ends.

Not 45 minutes in a car. Maybe 15 from LSL?

I went yesterday and was quite impressed. I suspect the Farmers Market will be a big success. I do hope they get a web cam in operation soon so I can monitor activities from home as I now do with SS and LSL.

Default They do it right!

Congratulations - Looks like another home run for the family ...................

Say what you will, when they do something they do it right with no expense spared. This can only be good for all of us living in TV.

And I thought "Yard Art" South of Hy 466 was taboo.
