Chels,

Great idea, nothing beats Uno's pizza, deep dish. Im really surprised there isnt one here already. I bet it wont be long.
Is there one in Ocala?

I think I did see one either in Ocala or Orlando. Hope they get an Uno's here fast! ;D

WEGMAN'S by far is the greatest store in the Country. My wife loves The Villages, but misses Wegman's. The store in Rochester [suburb of Pittsford] is a show place that is a 'must' see. A couple years ago Cher was appearing in Rochester and one of the sites she when to was the Pittsford Wegman's. Here responce was "built me one in Beverly Hills".

While we were in Florida for Jan. and Feb., my daughter sent us a Trader Joe's care package. Boy was the stuff good!

The owner of the gas station that my step father used in the Chicago south Burbs sold his station in the mid eighties and retired to Clearwater. After a few years of playing golf he and some golf buddies decided to open a burger joint in Clearwater, hired some young hotties to serve the food and called it Hooters.

Kohl's is already being built on 441 new shopping center and Sam's is being built next to Home Depot.

But I would also like a Dillards and a Macys..........................

Well, we are going to miss Wegman's the most. When we lived in Rochester we shopped at the Wegman's on the corner of 250 and 441. Our Wegman's in Elmira is laid out the same. In Rochester people define where they live by what Wegman's they shop at. Oh, and the wife wants Red Lobster and Olive Garden.

Costco and Ledo's Pizza (started in College Park, MD in 1955).

Anything with Pizza in the name is good by me.

I would like to see: Sam's club (heard one is coming), Trader Joe's, Holly Lobby and or Michaels and most especially Soup Plantation and Sweet Tomatoes!

I agree about Wegman's. Best food store I have ever shopped in. TV's would flock to this store if they opened one here.

PaJames,

Heading up to MD for a visit and high on the list is some Ledo's Pizza.

Actually, there is a Ledo's franchise in Altamonte Springs, not too far from the Costco there. But, it is an ugly drive from TV to there....most directly on 441 through lots of towns and traffic lights. We were driving back from Costco and the Big "L" in the Ledos logo caught my eye...came back to the computer and sure enough it was a Ledo's restaurant.

What happened to the Fresh Market coming in here. I heard about that but do not
see it anywhere.

phillisk 03-12-2008 11:59 PM

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 
What happened to Fresh market. Is it still coming?

For those who saw my message re an Indian Restaurant, try the Amrit Palace in Ocala at 2635 SW College Rd...actuall it is on hwy 200 and watch for it on the north side as you travel west...nice small family run...good service, good food (if you like Indian food), nothing fancy.

I would pay a $100 for a Wegman's sub!!!!
Mighty Taco, Ted's Hot Dog or Anderson Custard would be nice too!!!

Villages07,
We go to the Ledo's in Altamonte Springs every time we go to Costco. We know the owners, they are from Forestville, Md. Next time you go tell Tina and Steve that you want a Ledo's in TV. My wife and I were both born in DC but grew up in MD. I graduated from Bladensburg High School, my wife graduated from LaRaine High School (Catholic School). We both retired from the old Bell Atlantic (now Verizon).

Paul,

Got my Ledo's fix this past Monday at the franchise in Chesapeake Beach (Calvert County). Just yesterday, went onto Ledo website and sent them a suggestion, as well as a link to the TOTV pizza post, to get a franchise here. It would do sooooooo well here in TV....just not that much good, reasonably priced pizza around here.


I am also a PG County native (Crossland High School) back when it was a good place to grow up and get an education. Ended up in Calvert before moving to TV. Knew some of the local Catholic girls who went to LaReine.

This may be a RI only thing......Del's frozen lemonade and Walt's Roast beef. The lemonade would be a welcome treat especially in the summer! It is better than any I've EVER had! SOOOOO REFRESHING..............and the Walt's melts in your mouth. YUMMY... ::)

Russ_Boston 03-21-2008 02:35 PM

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 
Yes it is a RI thing but I would bet my house that a Del's stand in LSL and SS would work. Can't cost much for a franchise license and the recipe. Not sure if TV would allow (and for what price?) a mobile stand though. Maybe I'll look into it. My wife could use a project!

bobfl 03-21-2008 03:51 PM

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 
Yes Dels would be great. I heard a story years ago that they tried to bring Dels to Fla but the difference in the water changed the flavor and it didn't sell well. Just a rumor though and maybe it would work in TV. I always stop on hot days in the Summer and get my Dels fix. They are everywhere in RI.

re: Del's lemonade. Isn't this the item Emeril always mentioned on his show?

Russ_Boston 03-21-2008 05:16 PM

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 
I don't watch the show but Emeril is from southeast MA (Fall River i think) and they have Del's in most of eastern MA. It is an unusual flavor of slushy style frozen lemonade. Lemon taste but not bitter nor too sweet.

I grew up in Landover & Landover Estates. My wife and I lived in Bowie from 1983 to 1997. We then moved to the mountains in Shenandoah county, VA, a place called Fort Valley. While we were in Bowie we frequented Eddies Place in Crofton, I believe this was Ledo's first franchise. The nearest Ledo's where we lived in Fort Valley was Charlestown, WVA. We would go there about 3 or 4 time a year, then play the slots at the Race track - about 65 miles - 1 way, but worth the trip.

There's a wonderful convenience store chain in NJ and PA (and possibly other states) called 'Wawa' where I can get my large chai tea, freshly made, for $1.19! Would be thrilled to have a Trader Joe's here--and absolutely agree about Wegman's!!!

redwitch 03-23-2008 03:51 PM

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 
roflao ... Was just going to do a post and ask what a "Wawa" was. I'm reading a book that mentions going past a Wawa (story based in Philly area). Tnx!!!!

A Bennigans would be nice down here. There's 2 in Ocala and they make the best ribs...not dry like Sonny's.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 
Are there any Indian Restuarants in TV or nearby? We don't have any near us and have to drive 45 miles to Greenville for one. I'd love a good Chicken Tikka Masala or Tandoori Chicken right now. An Indian restuarant around TV would be the icing on the cake. :hot:

Kohls, Steinmart and Penneys!!!! We went to some of the lovely shops near KatieBelles and they just weren't my cup of tea.

Truth is, too pricey (I thought) and not my size. If I can't find a Kohls, Steinmart or Penneys and we move down here, (Which is pretty likely) I soon will be running naked through the streets, and THAT is not a pretty sight.

According to the sign on the southeast side of 441 and Rolling Acres, there is an AC Moore coming near the Longhorn Steakhouse.

I want a Crate and Barrell!!!! They have beautiful home accessories and furniture.
