Not much yet, but it will come. There is a nice little restaurant there, The Specled Butterbean. It is a buffet and serves up what I call "Southern Comfort Food". Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and chesse and some of the best homemade fruit cobblers you will find anywhere. If you are looking for a nice place witrh good people and pretty good food, this is it. If you are looking for gourmet food, don't go there.

Continental Country Club is just east of the intersection. The have adds in the Daily Sun. Have been there a couple of times, nice change of pace.

The actual "dead-center" of TV composed of all the land they presently own from 42 to 44 is Bonita.

Yes, the Turnpike exit for Morse has been approved by the state and the funding is set also. That was always part of the grand plan of TV, direct Turnpike access.

At one time heard that Largo would be the center...hmmm maybe that was a bit ago

[mulligan]

I heard the center of TV is wherever fumar happens to be at the moment.

Don't go by Golf Cart. The trail is blocked at 466A.

YES! The husband and I went to Speckled Butterbean and it is exactly what you say. "Southern Comfort Food" with a farmhouse motif. Roosters and hens and red and white checkered placemats. Try to remove them. Funny! $8.25 for the buffet. Drinks are extra. Not a place for dieters unless you only fill up at the salad bar. Macaroni and cheese brings me back to my childhood. mmmmmm

The Speckled Butterbean is on Rt. 44 right across from the entrance to The Villages at Buena Vista. Can't get to it by cart however, it is across the street from The Villages property. It is like Cracker Barrel but buffet style.

Oh, is that what its called? I thought it was the Wildwood Country Club. They had a 4th of July party there and it was very nice. Does anyone know where the new town square will be in proximity to the Cont. CC???? I'm lost...

In the paper this morning they had the location of the town square off Buena Vista between 44A and 44

If you look at the map on the VCCDD website, it appears the center of the Villages will be Mallory/Bonita area. Hemingway is further south.

We just came from Buena Vista, South of 466A. Looks like someone moved part of the barracade and carts were going through. Probably not a good idea, nothing to see.

I was told once that the Frame House on stilts right on Bonita Blvd is actually the center mark. Looks like it on the map too.

[jblum8156]

The frame house may be the center now, but we will soon have 11,000 more homes south of 466A. Also expanding west of Buena Vista.
