Maybe some day.

Perkins was poorly run as was Crispers. They use the rent being raised as an excuse.

I assume they also believe that staying in a hotel envoronment rather than a hospital environment helps with attitude. Don't know that it is a wide spread concept but why not give it a try.
That makes sense. It sounds like the new advanced medical center will compete with The Villages Health or is it part of it?

I wish I had known that. How fun! I would have hugged you.

I totally agree with Skip0453 that the developers' plans all seem to benefit this community beautifully. We may be growing beyond what was originally planned, but it seems the development continues to be an asset, not a detriment. As a retired realtor, I see all this as improving my investment in The Villages and that is all to the good!

You're looking at buying here as an "investment?"


As a 'frog' (here till we croak :D), whether our home appreciates or depreciates...won't be our concern. :shrug:

Other chains immediately occupied the spaces.
An article in the DS interview with the manager of Commercial property that Chrispers came to them and asked to get out of their lease,and Perkins did not want to
renew their lease and was not interested in negotiation to renew.

We need retail down south not motel. Very disappointing.

How will they cross the turnpike?

My opinion is there will be two bridges over the turnpike.

I believe one will be north of the Okahumpka Service Plaza and will bring an extension of Buena Vista Blvd. over the turnpike. It will be for vehicles, golf carts, bicycles and pedestrians to cross over the turnpike. This will connect Buena Vista to CR 468 at the Village of Fenney.

The second will be to convert the existing overpass which has been used for cattle and farm equipment and is already located south of the Okahumpka Service Plaza. It will be for golf carts, bicycles and pedestrians. A new multimodal path will cross Rt. 44 and will wind its way down to this overpass. The path will go from the west end of the overpass into Fenney.

That's my guess and I'm sticking to it :MOJE_whot:

Afraid not. Take a look at the menus at Denny's and IHOP.

Several years ago at some Cracker Barrel somewhere in Florida, the waitress brought my Swedish pancakes swimming in one inch of melted butter or oleo. I asked her if she had heard of the cholesterol problem. She said that was how the senior citizens in Florida liked it.
