And golf courses? Well....you definitely have a point. They are a huge visual beauty. I still vote for keeping some cows.
I agree.. I'd drive an an extra couple of miles as long as I can see the cows and calfs grazing in the fields. I still miss the buffalo!! As far as Colony Publix being crowded, shop like I do, early morning and 8pm at night... quite empty at those times. When you live in a big city, you get used to avoiding stores in the middle of the afternoon.

A Quaker Steak and Lube franchise would make a fortune and alot of people happy. Or at least one carguy.

Driving home now to get a wing fix!

The property you are asking about that Wildwood has approved for commercial development is west of the Buena Vista/466A intersection and north of 466A.

The land I referred to is between powell rd ans the sandhill golf course. Owned by the word family, not TV.

To "bump" a post is to bring it to the top of the "New Post" list. Sometimes done for lost pet posts that are a few days old or any post that someone wants to bring to the top for those who have not been on TOTV for a few days. Hope that helps.

There are a few small pieces down in the Colony area and possibly E/O there on 466A outside TV. I know there are 4 sale posted but money is a big factor.
Well, Skip, Tilted Kilt has my husband's vote too.....where would they find those generously endowed young women? They sure wouldn't be living in The Villages!:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

What a sense of humor you have. I simply had to laugh out loud. Thanks for starting my day with a little bit of fun.

Fruitland park golf cart rules
 
The use of GOLF CARTS in FRUITLAND PK is for all inspected golf carts with police dept. paid stickers. Carts may operate on posted streets if operated by licensed drivers with proof of at least home owners insurance and carts must pass inspection of Lights, tires, brakes, +++. These carts do not need to be street legal.

That sounds good, but being new here, where we I go in Fruitland Park in my golf cart? I live near Colony Plaza.

Fruitland Park has a lowere speed limit so there's no problem 466A is 45 mph and part is still in Sumter County which has already squashed Wildwoods request for golf carts on 466A. So I don't think you'll see GC traffic from Colony Plaza to Fruitland Park. On Powell road just s/o the County Center there's another assisted living place going up. Part of the site at 466A & 462 is going to have a commercial site don't know if it will be stores or not. Sumter Place on 466A will be started their second bldg after the new year that will onlt leave 2 small pieces of land there and after the BBT bank is done there's only 4 spaces left by Colony Plaza. So I'd say Rt 44 or 44A is the next place. Hopefully the shopping plaza w/o Brownwood will start soon.

Boy you got that one right. Nothing better than a bucket of Lousiana Lickers or Thai 'R' Cracker.

There is NO WAY I would drive my golf cart on 466A! It's a racetrack out there!

I agree with you but sadly I have had the unfortunate opportunity to see a couple of golf carts on that road.
