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.

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.
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.

To reply:
I have all I could ever want… so love Fresh Market, Publix, Walgreens, Bonefish and 10 minute cart ride to Lake Sumter .. new not always convenient

Be still my beating heart! Remember when they first opened in L.A. Couldn't get enough El Pollo Loco. 👍👍

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.

The new rec center that opened, Homestead, has astronomy pads and fire pits (where the hours are listed as 7 am to dusk lol)
I hope that 7 am to dusk is just for the fire pits and doesn't include the astronomy pads. If it does, then what is the point of even having them??
