Well said, Rubicon. I couldn't say it better.

Also, our property values should skyrocket as soon as this new development project is built out. All good.



I agree that progress is good. At the same time Rubicon is opening our eyes to the nostalgia we sometimes feel. That is also good

Trail winds is to be a mixed use development....fast food, commercial and apartments. Or has it changed?

I guess that's the price paid for progress. My wife will miss seeing the cows and new calves as her late dad raised cattle. :sad::sad:

Yea, me too. In a few years it will be watching Uber driving everybody to Publix or the squares. Congestion will be the norm and all those that love the big city will be in their glory.
