Default Buena Vista to Hwy 44

The new extension of Buena Vista from Hwy 466A to Hwy 44 is now open. I drove over it this morning. It is 2.5 miles long with six roundabouts and three golf car tunnels. It is hard to believe that all of the empty space will be filled up with homes within the next few years.

You can't go down through this area on a golf cart. The golf cart trail is still barricaded at Hwy 466A.

I believe that Hemingway will eventually be the center of TV.

If you start at the most Northern point in TV and look at the homes, the designs, the cart paths, the town square, the shopping, the golf, the Villages layouts, dining, almost anything, then move South a mile and check all those again, keep doing that until you get to 466a. You have to conclude that the more they TV grow the more they understand the requirements and seem to continuously improve. That would suggest that South of 466a will be really nice.

To Logdog who asked what's on 44: There is a large antiques Mall called Traditions, with a rather nice restaurant on the upper floor. And several small fast food places. And a small strip mall. That's about it. I expect there will be more to come.

Thats west of 301. Where BV meets CR44 if you turn right there is a popular resturant called The Specled Butter Bean, that just opened this summer. Right near the restaurant is a large farm store and a party supply store in another building.
There also are a lot of signs offering commercial real estate.

Looking forward to riding it on my motorcycle Sunday AM on way to Lake Placid to meet up with friends for lunch. This will allow me to miss the construction on 466A and to join 301 just north of the turnpike where I'll be getting on.
