I was thinking it was a financial decision.. not a no. of people issue.. Just for the music,
(Financial would be developer.)
Have been here for almost 8 years. Yes, the villages are growing and growning.. but it has to meet the needs of the new residents..
(Hence Pinellas and Trevare Plazas.)

Things will be fine... don't worry.. Have a great day.

The Sharon actually looks better now. I have not been to Spanish Springs Square in a year or so. Or, if I had been was not paying much attention to the Sharon's progress. I did see it last April or so when family members were visiting.

Can we get an eye witness assessment on the parking- from someone who was there last night? No second hand or rumors please.

The doors opened at 6:30 and we arrived about 6:45. We parked behind the Movie theater and there was ample parking. Valet parking was available and there were at least 10 young men available to park cars, however they did not appear to be very busy.

I walk by The Sharon most mornings and I have to say I think its ugly. It kinda looks like a prison with a cross on top. Is it just me?

If they wanted more commercial space could they have not incorporated it into the perimeter of that prison warehouse looking Sharon, instead of dooming Katie Belles? They could have had their theater and a bustling beautiful building. The idea of The Sharon makes no sense in a Square, fully one forth of the square will now be dead ugly unused space the vast majority of the time. Will it be used daily by the residents?

Yes yes yes... the developer has a right to do whatever they want with their hard earned money, and yes they are most likely smarter than the rest of us. The question is ... is it ugly? Does it belong in a square? I would do this post as a survey if I knew how and had the rights.

PS...Why do some people never ever criticize the developer?
