Too bad for us folks that like to display our cars and for the people that enjoy going to look at them. I would think that was good for the businesses in Spanish Springs. I wonder what the changes will be, maybe on square reserved parking for the new apartments? Who knows.

The Daily Sun said they are reconstructing the front of the La Reina building to improve the store fronts and restaurant access. They likely need the street for equipment they will be using.

I would be concerned about safety issues what with Teslas self igniting etc.

SAME cars the last 5 yrs, SAME bands playing the SAME sets for TWENTY yrs, SAME vendors at every event,Tree lighting has SAME decorations, etc. etc. I'm thrilled change is coming. 20 yrs living here, this old broad is tired of THE SAME.

Same old cars? Strange, I’ve been going to the cruise at S.S. for north of 15 years and every time I see some different cars. Maybe others just don’t spend as much detail time or I am just imagining things. I love Spanish Springs and the monthly cruises. Full disclosure - Wife and I usually miss a part of the hot summer months (June, July and August) by vacationing, traveling north and missing some of the Florida heat and humidity. To each their own.

And that happens how often?

Sadly, as the population moves south, fewer and fewer people want to venture north/fight the traffic to get the same thing they can get Lake Sumter and south.

I know its unpopular to say this, but I wonder at some point does The Villages figure out a way to sell off the Spanish Springs area/homes to another management company, and wash their hands of it entirely?

The population isn’t moving south, just as many people live around SS as ever. The southern population is most definitely increasing, but the northern population is most definitely not decreasing.

State Route 44 and Morse a new super Walmart is under construction. This will be the first big box store of many moving south. That particular intersection will be super busy. That said, no way will S.S. be sold to another entity.
