Ok like it or not we were in Brownwood on Friday, clientele did not make me feel comfortable walking around. I don’t have that feeling at SS or LSL.

So who wants to shame us on this post. I worked in Detroit and never felt this uncomfortable.

It reminds me every time of why we fell in love with this uniquely beautiful and wonderful community full of active, happy, and upbeat seniors.

Maybe the difference between being full time and part time?

I have to agree.

We were talking with one of the shop owners at LSL and he says it draws more people in to the shops and restaurants.

Yup, nothing like extra hordes of people to kill the restaurant business.
