Shopping Down South ???
My husband and I moved to the Village of Linden in August. We were told and given flyers saying the shopping center next to Everglades Rec Center would open for business the end of 2019. Well, as I drive to the shopping areas up North I see constant construction going on north of the turnpike but nothing happening at Magnolia Plaza. Is there anyone who knows when the construction is going to resume? I hope we aren't the forgotten people.

I agree with you. I also live in Linden and go by there daily and see maybe 2 and some days no one working. For what ever reason it appears work has halted on this project. Maybe they need proper permitting, maybe no tenants have signed up yet? It would be nice to see it move along.

From points south of 44 it is quite a bit more than 5 miles for shopping at the 441 corridor (Kohl's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, Home Depot, Target, all the restaurants along the corridor, etc, etc, etc.. Those stores and restaurants, to me, are very important to be close.

When we moved here in 09 were told told the Building would stop at 466A. That lasted about 2 months. Now I keep saying Key West is a long ways away. Build it and they will come!

We were told in November 2017 when we came for a Lifestyles week that shopping and golf cart accessibility were coming soon! At this post I’m not sure what soon means. However, we had no desire to live so far from the action and bought in The Village of Charlotte. We love the location! So close to so much. I’d be upset as well as we see another Publix and many other places going up along 466a and nothing for all of you. All I can think is that there isn’t the traffic through your area to support lots of shopping. But it seems like a grocery store, Walgreens and gas station would get lots of business.

All the shopping you could want around 466 and 466A. Lots of everything else also.

Stay north of 466. More businesses, better home construction. Buy resale.

My Lord, this is not a crisis, we bought down here because of the atmosphere, we were never promised big box stores, only a plaza and lots of amenities. The lack of big box stores is not a problem with us as we rarely go to them and when we do we enjoy a little ride to Ocala or up on 441. It is less than 10 minutes to Publix, not a big deal at all to drive 10 minutes once a week to a grocery store. Living down here compared to the northern villages also saves a lot of time if we go south to Orlando or Tampa as we're only minutes from the Turnpike and/or I-75. It's just fine the way it is, it will be a little better with the plaza but not sure that I'm looking forward to the connectivity.

Why do so many people come down hard on those who want something different than what they like? It's great many of you like it the way it is but for some folks they like it another way. That's the problem with this forum (and others like it). Because someone likes something different that doesn't make them "whiners" or "complainers" or "ungrateful" or '"spoiled." it's just what they like. We love it here but we also like major shopping areas. I find EVERYTHING is "about an hour away." I can only take so many "BEALS" stores. It all depends on what one is used to and where you came here from. We all like different things but aren't we all old enough to avoid the labeling and name calling? Sounds like a teenage Twitter account. I thought that stopped in Middle School.
