Yes, definitely, based on recent newspaper reports.

If everything goes according to plan, this could be THE place to shop in TV. If you have a multitude of stores in one venue, why go elsewhere?

Hoping for a Bonefish, PF Changs, Cheesecake Factory-I know their chains but they're a little upscale

I don't know why at least Bonefish doesn't come south. They are so busy up on 466.

One might ask just how important is golf cart access. Not very - - when you look at the many businesses along 441/27 that Villagers drive their cars. Trailwinds will do well IMHO.

I'm happy to hear that First Watch will be coming soon. Great place for a good healthier meal.

That is a winner. Really enjoy First Watch near the Hospital.

I'm hoping for a Panera Bread and Carrabbas.

Totally agree Brenda. We love First Watch.

I hope so, the southern end of The Villages really needs this. It should also help alleviate some of the traffic on Morse and Rio Grande north of 466 that many Villagers from south of 466 use to cut through to 441/27 for shopping.

Publix is sort of surprising since there is one less than 2.5 miles away but that makes more sense than BK and Wendy's. In the end, I'll bet against BOTH B.K. and Wendy's. One or the other, yes.

Funny how TV doesn't allow 2 similar restaurants in the same area, yet they didn't mind putting the obnoxious row of banks front and center in Pinellas Plaza. Perhaps they make way more money off the banks! Just sayin'.

The route you describe is not a cut through, it is a route. As is Chula Vista, another route. Or Micro Racetrack etc.

I'd like to see a Boston Market and a Dairy Queen.

Tailwind is not part of TV. They have no say in what stores or restaurants go in there. Don't blame the developer.

Not only obnoxious but totally useless. I’ve been banking online for 20 years and will never go back to a brick & mortar with ridiculously low interest rates and long line waits.
