Default Paddock square - rocking !

Several months ago I posed a question as to why Paddock Square was fairly empty. Posters told me that since it was new there weren't many people there.

Well, we have since bought in Hillsborough but not there yet.

Gotta tell you I looked at the square from the web cams and WOW what a difference. The place was mobbed ! YAHOO !

Glad to see it - Wait for us P. S. - we will be there soon ! LOL

I noticed the same thing, Paddock Square is usually pretty empty and I thought this would be a great place to dance, cause the floor is open.

Tonight looking at the webcam is see it jammed to the brim,,, checked the paper and its Rocky and the Rollers,,,, Play great music and they will come.

Nice to see it so busy.

I looked at the web cam for Paddock Square about 2 hours ago, and saw that the square was jumping! I was wondering what band was playing -- now I know why the crowd was so large.

All three squares were busy tonight. We went to the movies at the Rialto at Spanish Springs. The square was very busy with people enjoying themselves all around the downtown. When the movie let out, we then headed over to Sumter Landing for a pineapple ice cream from Ambrosia. (mmmm) Sumter Landing was hopping too. I'm glad to see people out having fun and patronizing the local businesses.

When a great band like Rocky and the Rollers, you will have a "full house" at any one of the squares.

However, the squares will be mighty dead when some entertainers such as Carol Ann are scheduled.
