If a developer finds a profitable method of developing why should he stop with just one unit?
MacDonald's didn't. Wendy's didn't. Donald Trump didn't, etc.
Of course finding a suitable location with a similar advantages (CDD concept, friendly compliant politicians, etc.) could be a challenge.

It could just be that one day Mr. Morse will decide to retire, sit back, and enjoy the fruits of his labor. He's not old, but he's not exactly a young whipper-snapper, either. Maybe when this finally builds out, by then some of the family's offspring will do something just as they did. Just a thought.

I believe there is a large parcel of land out around Crosby, TX that could become available. Owner has recently retired and relocated to Dallas, and has some political influence. Is also a friend of The Villages developers.

I don't see anything wrong with duplicating The Villages concept elsewhere. It certainly worked for Del Webb.

About a year ago there were a lot of posts about a proposed (Quarter?) Horse Race Track with a card room. The race track seemed to be a front for getting the card room approved. Haven't heard much about it since early summer last year.

Setting up a casino in Florida is no easy matter. If the land where the casino is to be located is not Indian tribal land, there's a whole host of hoops to include a requirement for county (or city) approval for the gambling establishment.

We just went through that in Sumter County with the quarter-horse track that was voted down. It would seem doubtful that anyone would invest the necessary time and capital for a casino which, based on the most recent attempt to bring legalized gambling to Sumter County, is going to be tossed by the voters.

Casino? Pardon the pun, but don't bet one it!

That's how these d--- stupid rumors get started. Now this thread will become a poll for having gambling or not in TV.
