There was an article in the DS earlier this week where someone within the villages mgt stated that the movie industry is still in a state of flux and not releasing enough movies. The only theater would be Old Mill Playhouse for the present future.

It's going to be another casual bar and grill, like The Back Porch in Mulberry Grove.

Oh, geez. Not another sports bar. Why can’t we get some upscale restaurants here? So tired of same old, same old.

I’ll use my own situation for why the developer doesn’t build condos, I’ve bought 6 homes in the villages 5 new and one preowned, if they had condos here I would have started out with them and by this time I would most likely have been on my 3rd ,the developer has a good plan , you can make more on houses and apartments , but I think they are still missing the boat because I have a sense that there would be quite a few people who would like to live in a nice condo complex

If this place would support more upscale restaurants think they would be here already.

Why does this bother you?

I just get tired of folks bashing or suggesting possible problems with the new areas . Most times it exposes their ignorance.
FYI, I’m above 466A.

Wrong source. That's Nucky's tollbooth. He rolls it in when he needs the extra bucks to cover the cost of his [REDACTED]

Just commenting on these two things.

The Lofts apartments were built to the side of the central part of the square, and were not something else, and then repurposed to be apartments. In addition, the Lofts come with their own amenities and gated private parking. Using waiting lists at the Lofts as justification to repurpose second-floor apartments over an existing storefront is stupid and makes no sense. The two can't compare. The waiting list is more likely because the Lofts come with ALL of those things, not merely living space for rent with parking spaces that aren't sectioned off and unavailable to the public.

The new town center sounds like an amazing idea. Sort of like a miniature Riverwalk like they have in Texas. I would absolutely take the drive to visit it as part of my monthly "adventure the Villages" rotation.

The closest thing to a sports bar is Gators at Brownwood. Sports bars have a gazillion TV's and good bar service, none of which are present in The Villages. Before you tell me McGrady's is a sports bar, it has one tv.

Let's talk about that he wants to eliminate the gate going to BJ's and Lowes.
It makes to better reading.

I'm not trying to be a smart a**, but I have always been curious why we always refer to the Morse family as "The Developer". Its almost like we fear being struck by lightning if we call them by their given names. These folks have a surname. Why don't we just say the Morse family said this....or the Morse family said that...or the Morse family failed to do this or the Morse family deserves....?

By refering to the creators of The Villages (through their generations) as "The Developer" is a little like saying "The Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz." I prefer calling people by their name. Afterall, they are people! They are not hiding behind a curtain!

Don’t think that would happen, too many people use that to shop in surrounding businesses who only have golf cart to use. It would make lots of people very upset, The developer knows that gate gets a lot of traffic for residents in TV so that seems less likely to happen & hearsay trying to start trouble & not based on facts

Somehow I suspect more tv's will be coming soon.
