The only time I purchase on line is when the brick and mortar stores do not carry the item. I much prefer to select my purchase in person. But....that's just me. I know I'm probably in the minority.

I had heard in recent months that a franchise restaurant/bar such as any of those you mentioned will not consider a location unless it has a minimum traffic count of 20,000 vehicles per day. 44 between 301 and Leesburg might hit that but anything south of 44 has a long way to go before getting anywhere near those numbers those numbers. What will probably open south of 44 would be non franchise smaller family owned restaurants

The current Villages model where you buy a cookie cutter lifestyle and then fit your life into it is redundant and tiresome. The new vision offers better neighborhood designs and more opportunities to live retirement “your way”. It is the future, embrace it.

I agree about the south being a new vision and a “ your way retirement” that is why we are soon to close on a home in Bradford.

I do not understand why people are so negative.

WOW, talk of a border in TV. I think the new area will be as great as all the other areas when all is said and done. Remember, a lot of younger folks have never gotten into golf, and probably never will. They were too busy working, going to the gym and getting involved with their kids organized activities to play golf. I'll bet some people who were the first residents to cross 441 said the same thing about the Historic Side. Enjoy where you live.

And they have been negative since the first home was built down here, probably always will be.

stores , used to love the mall of Orlando before the virus . I try to do some business locally and only shop on line for something hard to get . If everyone shops online they’ll be no retail just big box stores all selling the same thing People always talk about the how sad it was when all those nice stores In there town closed well they closed because everyone went to the box stores and now even they are under siege, it’s not going to change now but the search for endlessly lower prices has consequences

Why would you want to be so far
away from all of the best golf courses and social events? It would be too far to travel on a golf cart. Also it’s near the noisy prison and quarry where they Blast! Talk to the people in Fenny and get the real scoop.
