So is PDQ like Sonic or Steak and Shake? Must be a southern based establishment.

I think it came from a former partner of Dardin. It's more Steak 'N Shake than it is Sonic.

Especially with 100,000 people living in a 8 mile by 17 mile patch of land, most turning at least 85 years old within the next 20 years.

They are building a room for every one of us!

Not sure, but I think there was a billboard there and they are taking it down.

They were taking it down yesterday when we went to Crispers and when we came back from Crispers it was down and the fence too. Things move swiftly around here.

You are so correct after all I would like my parents to be close while we're living in the villages. I think having on property for seniors who can no longer take care of themselves A perk for living in the villages

I think there's a real need for the ALF and memory care facilities around here. So many people who moved here 20 or 25 years ago were in their 60's and now they need different living situations. When we starting looking at The Villages about 10 years ago, we visited Freedom Pointe and it's rehab and assisted living facilities. We noticed that there really weren't any others near or in The Villages.

I know it seems as if all the new places are popping up suddenly, but it takes years of planning and applications to build one.

I'm hoping it's another mattress store.

I don't have a clue what is being built. Sometimes I find that the process of elimination is helpful. We could brainstorm together.

I'm guessing it ain't

a fertility clinic
a teen center
a FUBU store
Toys r Us
a Bridal Gown shop
a Hip Hop music store
Trader Joes
Costco

The next gold mine! @ 300K and above, plus extra charges for the service.

A much needed pawn shop for all the lifted items.

I seem to remember reading that Sumter Place on 466A inside TV had units starting at $3100. I know from first hand experience, in Baltimore to put my mother in a nice professional assisted living home was $6,500 a month. The cheapest option was living quarters in someone's home with 6 to 8 patients and that was $3,000 a month.

Providence is an INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY with fewer services; an ALF has 3 meals/day, cleaning & laundry. Extra services would be help with meds, dressing, bathing, colostomy care, diabetic care, etc. That's where they get you in the pocketbook.

Why would people waste a large commercial tract on a busy County Road for Assisted living, would be more profitable as restaurant(s), shops, etc. How about Red Robin and Bahama Breeze. Site the Assisted living in the back.

ALF according to the county records.
