Isn't it about time we stopped these silly parades and holiday celebrations in the squares?

It's absolutely horrible for anyone who is trying to get somewhere or shop in the areas near the town squares. We went to a few when we first moved here but gave up when we had to wait in line forever to get crappy food and then eat sitting on the sidewalk because of the ignorant people who get there early and plop themselves down at the table that are meant for food service customers. People stay in those chairs for the entire day. The people running the food really need to police the eating areas.

I had an awful experience today just trying to get to Publix. Then I had to park a quarter of a mile away.

There will be plenty of people on the squares at five o'clock on holidays. The vendors will do fine without this silliness. In fact with the food trucks and booths I wonder if the restaurants lose some business.

I like parades when I was a little kid. Not so much any more.

You cannot be serious. Makes me wonder what "big city" you could possibly be referring to.

He could very well be fired for saying that. I am pretty sure they are told to comment on the weather and that is about it. I did talk to one, one time who was a Michigan fan but I graciously didn't report him.


Actually I am kidding about the Michigan fan part, many took me seriously yesterday when I was having some fun with someone who views himself a gourmet.


I have NEVER had any of the Ambassadors say anything about another golfer or in any way anything that could raise eyebrows. They aren't allowed to be tough. If someone complains about them, they are gone.


I wish they could speed up slow play and I wish all new golfers took the course on golf manners and info offered for free.

Uncanny.

It honestly crossed my mind...on my previous post...to suggest that those who think traffic here is bad here should consider relocating to Mayberry or Petticoat Junction. :)

I know what you mean about the excitement wearing off but there is still no where we would rather be....
