Our youngest was disappointed not one “Coney Place” in Louisville. Has been taking polls among their guests @ their 3 high end NOLA restaurants for two years.

There are more displaced lovers of Great breakfast and lunch places than one would think. His thoughts are an Ethnic restaurant with breakfast, coney dogs, Greek salads, gyros, along with a true NOLA restaurant, in TV would be packed daily. Both in a retail strip.

Now just need to convince him, a chef and some outstanding people to migrate a little farther south.

I agree, both are only about 2 miles away, maybe 3.

The Publix @ Lake Deaton and Colony Plazas are about 3.5 miles apart. So one never knows,,,

I hope its not a Publix, I like their subs and fried chicken but cant afford to do any real shopping there, Winn Dixie isn't much better

Yeah, I'm not down there full time. I was wondering if it was all of Florida or just these stores that had either horrible prices or crappy selection. Mostly I'm talking about meat. When I was in Publix, it seemed like the horrible commodity chicken with 15% broth added was over $5/lb. Pork was also crazy expensive. Up here that chicken is like $2.99 lb and pork is never really more than $4/lb. Winn Dixie sort of reminded me of Walmart in quality.

I resigned myself to going to Costco for meat when I get down there full time. I'll split it up, vacuum pack it and freeze it. I don't see myself using those stores for regular shopping if I can help it.

Kroger delivery, Costco or base every couple months, TJ’s takes care of all our needs.

Even closer if it materializes, an earlier Villages map showed a building and parking lot very similar to other Publix at Eastport.

That info was removed after GoldWingnut pointed it out.

The Vote
 
I’ll bet they are waiting for the ballot count on recreational marijuana.

If it passes, maybe we get a dispensary, a tattoo parlor, vape shop, and sports betting casino.

Too funny. Plus us southerners are getting younger. Those soon to be sagging tramps stamps will be needing some coverup work at the Villages Tattoo and Smoke Shop.
