How about some healthy food? (Unless you need to eat Cracker Barrel and McDonalds and Chick Fila so you don’t outlive your retirement funds. )

It’s called “Eastport” and its being built just south of the new bridge that’s being constructed. That’s also where additional championship and executive courses are being built. All within 5 years.

That's an excellent list; good luck on your lobbying efforts

How about a medical cannabis store? Closest from Fenny is Leesburg over 10 miles. Lady Lake and Summerfield much further.

I would love to see a Wegman's Grocery.

Publix is nice and expensive, but it is not real nice and compared to everything else down here, it is real expensive.

Wegman's is also expensive, but it is like the Disney World of Food. If I am going to pay Publix prices, I want to see Wegman's quality and selection.

You don't need a degree to know what comprises a healthy diet. Just some common sense and an open mind.

Cracker Barrel does serve vegetables but most go for the comfort food. You will not find many thin people there.

You had me excited about Nando's for a minute. In the USA they are only in DC, VA, MD, and IL.
