Default Time to Guess Theme of the Next Town Square

Ever since TV acquired all that new acreage down south, I have been trying to guess what theme the next Town Square might have. (And there almost certainly will be a new one down there somewhere.)

Assuming the Developer sticks with their pattern of choosing a theme that reflects both the history and "personality" of the state of Florida, and since the Spanish, nautical and cattle/ranching themes have been used...what's left?

I'm going with...The Everglades.

That might be correct. Going with the fantastic beaches would be a stretch from the Bushnell area of Florida. No beach really there to speak of.

How about "too far to get to".

Perhaps a train theme owing to the hub this area once was.

I was thinking, the new square should honor the very beautiful, young polo playing Paige Boone, or is it McCabe now?....

I wouldn't mind seeing that. But it would only appeal to rail fans and you can probably count those on one hand.

Two weekends ago the Model Railroad Club three day show at Colony Cottage drew 8,000 visitors. I'm sure a lot of Villagers have traveled via the Autotrain to Virginia, I have three times, or Amtrak in general. I'm sure many have traveled in Europe and Canada via some of the scenic train offerings. I believe a square geared toward trains and station depots would lend a nostalgic feel and could have many posibilities as far as design, structure and layout.

Here's the Autotrain station in Sanford, about 75 minutes east of here.

Prison Theme might work.

I think just a continuation of the look of Fenney.

On a recent ride on the Brownwood trolley ride from sales center out to Fenney, the tour lady indicated it might be a “town round” center.
