What can't you get in TV that you would like to have available?
On TV's commercial web page they claim that 80% of residential trips are within TV. With restaurants, recreation, entertainment, shopping, professional services, banking, health care, a hospital, and churches golf-cart accessable, what is missing that you would like to have available?
When you get in your car and leave campus, where do you go and why?

There are only two things that we can think of that would take us outside of TV at the moment.
One is Michaels which is in nearby Ocala. JoAnns is here now but doesn't have the art supplies, canvases and paints that I need. The other is Shands hospital at the University in Gainesville. I would trust the local hospitals for most things, but I am a hospital snob, and if we needed open heart surgery or brain surgery or oncology, I would go to Gainesville or back to Cincinnati. |

Places we go off campus: Clothes shopping - There are shopping opportunities around TV, but I also go to Orlando. Sporting goods - no good place to buy specialty sports footware. It would be nice to have a Dicks Sporting Goods in the vicinity. The beach. Broadway shows - Orlando (there are shows at the Savannah Center, but they are not as good as the real thing). Golf - when the courses get filled up within TV, we go to outside golf courses occasionally to golf. Furniture - Southern Lifestyles has a monopoly in TV, and outside furniture stores offer more variety and generally cheaper merchandise.

Just curious how much a season pass to WDW is. My wife and I are fans as well and plan to do this as soon as we settle in TV.

We need TV dog parks
I'd love a couple of dog parks within TV. The only big dog park is a private one, outside the bubble (Doggie Doo Run Run). I pay a monthly fee and drive there every day. Obviously not golf cart accessible.
There is a small dog park in TV but it is east of 441. Quite far away for people in West Villages. The by-laws in TV allow two dogs per household. But the Developer hasn't made any provisions for them. So it can cause a lot of stress for non dog owners as well as owners. Especially those on corner lots. But I digress. I'm NOT trying to start that discussion again .. we've had it many, many times.

I really miss getting good fresh and juicy mangos. In SoCal they were the best!! I bought some here at Sweetbay's and Fresh Market only to be very disappointed. I'm also not too please with the selection of fresh fruit other than citrus. Guess I was spoiled in LA. But, I'm in the villages!!! That makes up for it..

For those who asked how much a Florida season Walt Disney World pass is:
I paid $382.34 in October for one. My pass has NO blackout dates and is a park-hopper (I can go to as many parks as I want in day). The $12.00 per day/park is also covered by the pass. Considering a single day pay park hopper is >$100 and parking is $12/ day it doesn't take very many trips to make it worth it. I have been 6 days since October so I have more than paid for mine and the next 9 months admission and parking is free!! Sorry if I've highjacked this thread but 2 people here asked for the info so I wanted to post it---Colleen

Lots of Fun Things . . .
We go outside TV for a few restaurants and shopping in Orlando is wonderful. As well as the Disney attractions. Also, to Tampa for the Hard Rock Casino!
We did go to Ocala for Sam's Club, but now TV has it's own. Everything just keeps getting better and better!
