I knew as as soon as the OP posted this harmless thread that they would immediately be attacked, shamed, and ridiculed. Why are some people here so cruel and mean? Can’t we all try and be more positive and supportive, or is being critical of others is how one wants to spend their retirement years? I’ve talked to many since moving here to TV that are scared to death about posting even a simple question on this forum, out of fear of being attacked.

I like the idea, be nice if the community could somehow have a say in what we need/like and go pursue companies rather than wait and see what shows up.

Not entirely true. TV didn’t build the store fronts for Publix, HD, Hobby Lobby etc etc. and I’ve read that TV does try to lure in retail business. It’s been awhile but I seem to remember it being from a reliable source.

The Villages is supposed to be the World's Friendliest Town. Kinda makes you wonder. Fortunately, I'm pretty sure these folks are probably the smaller percentage in the big picture.

I agree with you 1000%. I can't understand why people have seemingly the need to bash people for their decision to buy a house south of 44 like we didn't have a clue to what we were doing. We personally did five lifestyle visits before I found found a house and area that I liked and we searched north of 466 to south of 44 where we ended up. I can list pros and cons of any area that we looked at but I don't have the need or desire to denigrate anyone in their decision where to live. The people who do I just chalk it up to insecurity or jealousy.

People living in Middleton near Eastport want coffee, grocery, retail, pharmacy, and a gym, to start.

People on here sure do have strong opinions.

What is certain is a Citizens Bank, a golf cart store and a business that does nails and haircuts.
