Don't worry 'little buddy' the Professor is building a radio out of coconuts. It won't be long before we'll be able to contact the Loopers and we'll all be rescued

You can get to Marsh Bend from Fenney.
Publix is supposed to open in a couple months as well in Magnolia Plaza.

When we first started coming here we had the grocery in LSL that for us by golf cart was 20 minutes. Most of the square was empty store fronts.

We drove our car to SS where the area was established. Every resident who moves to a new area starts the same as you, until population of the area can support shopping.
Fenney has had the population to support shopping for over 2 years.

Your comment sounds like something people tell their kids. “When I was you age, we had to walk up hill in the snow both ways to school “.
Merry Christmas. 🎅

Sure. Come pick me up on your golf cart in Fenney. Drive us to Bonefish in your cart and I’ll buy your dinner.

You can get from Fenney with golf cart to Marsh Bend and from there to cross the Brownwood bridge.

How sad that Fenny (the first village south of 44) still has no access via cart
