Wow, I've never been in a crowded store in TV compared to Pittsburgh and NJ. I enjoy being so close to shopping just north of 466A. I remember waiting a half hour to check out in grocery stores up north. It has never happened down here. To me the close access to shopping is a big plus, and no overcrowding issues. I really enjoy being so close to shopping.

...which is the story for most people. I realize as some people age they withdraw more from shopping and socializing but there still a huge culture of shoppers and those loving the social scene in TVs that travel distances from the southern end to shop, golf and visit Brownwood and Lake Sumter for entertainment.

We looked at a few homes in Deluna that had functional hurricane shutters.

The last few years we have been shopping coastal homes in Florida. We found large number older homes with no hurricane improvements on exterior doors, windows, garage door.

Our insurance gave us a must have list, for windows, garage doors and outward entry doors for cat3-5.

Coastal new builds are 10-12’ concrete stilts, some with rotating walls for surge. Even on 12’ pylons all doors opened out. Most because of code, or insurance requirements
