Default Things Needed South of 44 or Turnpike

There's a CVS coming to Magnolia Plaza, who cares, here's what I want:

1) The McDonalds (which is actually being built)
2) Chick-Fil-A
3) Cracker Barrel
4) Aldi
5) 7-11 (which is actually being built)
6) Elon Musk to build a tunnel from Magnolia Plaza or Brownwood to Orlando
7) Entry-ONLY ramp onto the Turnpike to Orlando from Meggison Road/Marsh Bend Trail. Traffic on 301 is dangerous IMO.

Simply enter/exit the turnpike on 470. Problem solved

Absolutely none of the OPs choices.
I would take an Arbys
WAWA
Dairy Queen
Olive Garden
A good Chinese restaurant - there exist none in the Villages. No one can make crab rangoon.

We have a walgreens at Lake Deaton Plaza. Yeah, its ON 44, not south of 44, but closer than a lot of the other things.

In time more will be built but you are all part of the entire Villages so jump in your golf cart and do anywhere you want. We like CVS and all my prescriptions are there. Gone to Wawa a few times for gas. There is no 7-11 but most gas stations have stores up north. With so much more construction going there will be more to come, they just don’t like to share info. I have yet to see bad traffic in and around the Villages as compared to Boston or New York.

It never ceases to amaze me how people obsess on what they don't have. If all this fast food and cheap shopping is really that important, then why did they not purchase NORTH of 466A ? Perhaps the need to whine is dominant.

There's a CVS coming to Magnolia Plaza, who cares, here's what I want:

1) The McDonalds (which is actually being built)
2) Chick-Fil-A
3) Cracker Barrel
4) Aldi (Basically the same thing as Trader Joes)
5) 7-11 (which is actually being built)
6) Elon Musk to build a tunnel from Magnolia Plaza or Brownwood to Orlando
7) Entry-ONLY ramp onto the Turnpike to Orlando from Meggison Road/Marsh Bend Trail. Traffic on 301 is dangerous IMO.
8) Ace Hardware - though there is one on 301 in an OLD strip mall.

As far as Costco, I don't need bagels the size of golf carts wheels or 16 gallons of peanut butter.
