Did not fit into The Villages and Lake Sumter. Another store that just doesn't fit is Sherman Williams. Who goes to Lake Sumter to buy paint?

It's Morse, and I'm sure they have their act together.

Dogs eating with their hats on is just plain rude unless of course they are celebrating a birthday. As far as Brownwood goes you have to allow time for the surrounding area to grow in order to give potential tenants a comfort level of early successes. My understanding is that even Lake Sumpter (sic) took a number of years to populate to an appreciative level.

I do. Lots easier and quicker than going to Home Depot, Lowes, Color Wheel, Ace or Walmart. The paint is great and they have ample painting supplies.
There's another paint store in Pinellas Plaza, too...

Yes!!!

What does 'fit' for The Villages mean???

Restaurants close.......
Clothing shops close...

I guess they didn't 'fit'

We here in The Villages are not that much different than other towns. Stores come and they go.... I, personally, am enjoying the simplicity of Brownwood as it is right now....I know that will change over the years and I'm sure I'll like it then also.

I live here. I have to. I don't like it. I am Notta Villager because I don't buy into the "lifestyle".

So what is your point? You have made it clear you do not live in The Villages and you don't much care for The Villages. Why hang around on this forum pointing out perceived negatives? I'm really interested in understanding your motivation to disparage?

Notta...........you've been schooled. Hmmmmm?

I don't understand this either. It seems to me that "Notta" said that he does live in The Villages but calls himself Notta Villager because he doesn't buy into the lifestyle.

I don't understand why he feels he has to live here. You can by comparable homes for less money in other communities. Why would anyone feel that they have to live here?
