I do remember getting an alcohol permit for some big shindig we had in the past. I believe it had to do with having alcohol that was provided by the group and set up as a bar Vs BYOB. I think it was $25 to get the permit which was part of signing up for the room.

If anyone knows for sure please post so we don't send people down the rabbit hole.

it's almost assured for there to be an even easier access to Eastport via golf cart eventually. (as in another Multi Modal over the turnpike on 470).

Your "too old" comment...

And do note, I have never once stated nor implied that the villages south of 44 are bad, let alone "horrible"...

Suffice it to say those who have been living here for quite sometime see things differently than fresh faces. Once you settle in and new villages become available for sales, you will be giving those newbies the same advice you are now receiving.Until then, enjoy your new home and all the Villages has to offer.

Extremely unlikely. The developer isn't going to spend a few 100 million dollars on a bridge just to create a shortcut for a few thousand people that bought in an isolated area.

Eastport is beside Bexley trail which you already have access to by golf cart.

Does anyone know who pays for expanding and rerouting County Road 470? A year ago, it was a straight road. Now it curves and twists and there are a number of roundabouts. Is it the developer, the county, the state?? Or a combination?

Expanding 470 to four lanes would be very expensive!
