they finally put the entertainment schedule in the paper. Yesterdaze, rocky and the rollers, and empire in the next couple days.

Where did the 3 times the size of LSL come from?

I take it you are a city slicker. The decor definitely appeals to us country girls.

Went to check out Brownwood today and thought it was well done. Looked at the sales center, movie theater and the square. Maybe it's me but I thought it was pretty small. I was a bit disappointed with the amount of stores and potential restaurants. Perhaps it will look bigger once the tenants move into the buildings. At this point, I prefer Sumter. Anyone else think it looks smaller and are they going to expand?? Hopefully they will put some stores and restaurants in that aren't in Sumter, otherwise why make the trip only to frequent the same venues??

I dont think its close to being done. Seems to me they have a lot of building to do yet. When I was there I saw all the area around the square that needed to be built. I think its going to be a while until the whole Brownwood project is completed.

I, I, I, I,...............................me, me, me,...........................

Practicing your scale, Bogie? ;)

Oddly, what struck me is the lack of color. It feels.... drab. Of course, that authenticates the theme which was generally kind of ....brown wood. I just like "color" but likely the activity and offerings will be so stimulating the lack of visual excitement won't make a hoot of difference.

Ditto, being a farm boy at heart, I found the new Square very nice and familiar.

Does anyone know what the little private seating area on the upper back side of the bleachers is all about?

You cannot please all the "bubble complainers"!!!!!

That was very very thoughtful of you to post those photos of Brownwood.
Thankyou.

And I'm sure the cowgirls like our daughter in law, raised on a ranch, would also love it.........anyone from out west.
.
I'll bet our various grandchildren would also enjoy Brownwood.

We've been both......city slickers for the first 25 years and then "country folk" for the past 43 years.........

Noticed Pooh posted a pic with a John Deere tractor in the background.
See a lot of those in Vermont. WE may not have rodeos but we sure have a lot of farms, cows and horses, not to mention llamas, etc. and chickens.
Plus barns, dirt roads and covered bridges.

No matter where one lives, "country is in". None of our N.J. cousins quite "get it" or "get living in a predominately rural state" but I can't think of anyone who would not enjoy the change of pace that Brownwood would offer..........

Having enjoyed both city life , suburban life and then all these years of small town rural life...........I think that a change of scenary is always nice to experience.

Brownwood will be a good change. Out in Colorado, everything is "western" from the food to the clothing , etc. Rodeos in Wyoming, etc.
Oregon is a big horse state, fishing state, etc...........lots of forest land.
People from Utah should love it as well...................
Not to mention those from the Dakotas........Keystone, S.D. had a definite COWBOY western theme which we enjoyed.
Ditto for Nebraska......all of the western states' folks will feel right at home............or anyone who has gone to the jamboree and barbecues at Disney World.

Even Vermont and Maine can appreciate what the western theme offers.
