the speculation that Brownwood is for young people and surrounding community is an interesting thought, but certainly is incorrect. The squares are built for the residents.

BTK - Yes it's Villager accessible but I think geared to visitors. . . note the line setup for the huts . . . looks a little like WDW & Universal

Default Too small??

For those of you who have been to Brownwood, do you think it's going to be as big as Sumter? Were there many buildings for future stores and restaurants? From the sound of it, it seems to be a bit underwhelming compared to the other squares. I want to check it out when it gets a bit more up and running. Thanks for your opinion.

Lets not all whine yet. It IS just barely opened! People whined the whole time waiting for it to open an snow they whine because there seems to be not enough or as big as the other squares. It just opened! For those who were there it can be seen more areas for growth. The grass behind the stands area, the large area where construction equipment were behind the green fence. If they waited for everything to be built, it would not open until next year. Than more whining why it does not open. Now there is people asking why just TV businesses open?
It appears to me that the ample parking means much more to come.
The best part was the handing out of chairs! Somehow I doubt that will continue over time, but the thought/concept is GREAT to keep people from saving chairs.
Looks good to me so far. Just think of it. Where else in this country does a new town get built for its residence to enjoy. Kudos to the Morse family.

I remember reading somewhere that some of the original design work for TV was done by the same people who did Universal.

I heard it was Disney designers who designed Spanish Springs, but that is just quoting oft repeated stories. I don't know for sure.

WHEN did Spanish Springs open???? It has to be somewhere in the last fifteen years because we came here to look at this place with some friends and I was NOT impressed. Not much there at Spanish Springs when we first visited.

Now just look at me. Impressed just isn't the word.

I have a friend on TOTV who says often

"Patience, Grasshopper."

And I am going to quote him.

I just did.
