The golf cart paths north of 466 would be paved and widened just like they are south of 466......

Honestly....that is IT....

Default Cart Paths North of 466

I have lived here for seven years and have never had a problem with the cart paths north of 466. As long as you drive like a normal human being you should have no problems.

Z.....perhaps it is just a female thing....not sure....but I feel VERY uncomfortable riding on them....bump, bump, bump

It hurts after a while....then of course there is the bladder issue....if you have to go and you are riding on those things....and our cart does not even exceed 20.8 mph.....or comething close to that number.....but the bumps are VERY bad for bladders....

I even love the gators, the humidity, the narrow golf cart paths north of 466, the line-ups during snowbird season, , the crowds at the restaurants, ... bring it all on!!

You Frogs don't realize how fortunate you are!!

Good suggestion. I'm surprised they haven't done it already .. perhaps they're waiting for Brownwood.

Default Performing Arts Center

As a musician, I'd like to see a Performing/Fine Arts Center (seating about 2000).
Out of TV jurisdiction though.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"

Lack of a performing arts center was one of the things that I thought was lacking also. But it seems there are people that are of a similar mindset as us, SABRMnLgs! Check out this website:

Cool Change from me

Smalldog Sez that golf cart bridge is over Sumter lake is just a little bit to darn tight ...... tunnel width would be nice or just another foot or two even
.......... also I seem to be spending too much time in Funeral homes saying good bye to friends and neighbors ............... why can't others get old and leave us the heck alone
