I guess they'll finally get moving with the SS movie theatre reassignment. I'm all for apartments. Older people can enjoy less maintenance and be close to all they need. There will be a loss of parking spots at SS which is the worse part for those with mobility issues.

I don't understand the idea of closing the gate to Walmart/Lowes/Wawa. It's not an issue for me since I prefer driving, but there are a lot of people who use this route with their golf carts.

As for apartments in Spanish Springs, just wait for complaints about the loud music. A way to get rid of entertainment at this square.

The Barnstorm Theater will likely be transitioned into apartments. Cheaper to stream new movies at home.

I wonder why they didn't build condos ? certainly a business reason but I would find their reasoning insightful

Are you a southern folk? No, then why the interest.? Or just stirring things up?

I've been saying that for years. Condos make more sense than apartments.

They should close the squares to parking cars from 5-9. It would be hard to manage but parking for lots more people.

And I have been saying for years, "they" know what they are doing!

They are following the plans that have worked, and are continuing with the plan.

My sentiments precisely.

There's nothing like a herd of opinionated geezers for pointing out every real and imagined flaw in everything this "developer" does or proposes. (Is the "developer" real, by the way? Or a shadowy entity along the lines of the Wizard in Emerald City?) But the track record is excellent. No regrets at all about moving here.

Makes more sense to whom?

Was there any mention about opening the Barnstorm theater? I'd love for that to happen.

When people live in the villages they are naturally curious as to direction this place is going. Not to mention people do seem to move from house to house sometimes northerners even become southerners.

Why does this bother you?
