I pretty much just make comments about the fact that the 441/27 corridor of retail stores, restaurants and medical facilities are too far for me to even consider living that far south. I do understand, however, that shopping and restaurants are not very important to many people.

I also make comments to the effect that traveling in a golf cart from south of 44 to the town squares up north would be much too far for me to even consider going by golf cart. Brownwood is actually doable but those villages that are very far south would be out of the question for me to travel in a golf cart.

I make comments that I'm concerned about the influx of more and more people in our town squares and restaurants just as a matter of the rapid growth of The Villages. I surely hope there will be another corridor just like 441/27 so all those folks from the southern end do not go there.

These are my feelings and I honestly don't think of them as "false statements". Actually, they are my opinions. I'm sure not everyone feels as I do so there is that.
So you don’t want “those” people from the south in your neighborhood?

You hope another corridor is developed to keep “them” away from your lifestyle?

Perfect. Just perfect!

I find nothing "respectful" in those comments.

You evidently live in the historic section and see this happening up there everyday. That's where the drug addicted problem kids seem to be according to the on-line news.

And where would that be?

There is a lot of designated commercial acreage down here and a movie theater may well be in the plans. Personally I haven't been to one in 30 years so it doesn't bother me one way or the other. From what I've heard the Leesburg theater has more comfortable seats and lower cost tickets.
in 30 years but you know that the theater in Leesburg has better seats and cheaper prices, well of course it does because the family can never do anything as well as other places

I have nothing against the family and you have never seen a post from be stating that I am, I was answering the snide remark that those living south go to the Leesburg Theatre. I have never been there but have been told many times about the comfortable seating from my wife and others that do go to Leesburg.

This is true.
Besides vintageogauge posts, most of the time are defending that he purchased a home south of 44. There are probably more posts bashing the new area than those who never miss a chance to bash the Developer.

Yes. You have that correct. There is too much growth and not enough retail, restaurants and so forth to support the growth. It's bad enough during the winter months here. I don't complain but do live with it. I was seasonal for a few years before making the move full time. I just can not imagine what the restaurants are going to be like when The Villages is built out.

That was my comment. It was not meant to be a "snide remark" so sorry you took it that way. It was a comment about folks south of 44 being in closer proximity to a movie theater than traveling to LSL or Spanish Springs. Of course, the influx of the additional population being added to The Villages is going to really stress the theaters we have north of 44.

I'm aware that the Leesburg theater has wonderful seating and they also have or had a great $5 movie deal. Our theater in Spanish Springs is getting a make over similar to what Leesburg Theater has but I doubt the Spanish Springs theater will have a $5 deal.
