There is no natural beauty at Brownwood like there is at Lake Sumter. The builders ignored the three lakes around Brownwood and just built a bunch of stores.

We feel good walking around Lake Sumter, but not at Brownwood.
Stay north. Do not go to Brownwood. We will NOT miss you.

So, besides your assessment of there should be non money making lakes instead of money making businesses, please let everyone know why the two of you think that BW is a dump?

Scratch out a check for multiple billions of dollars and you can build a village and a town square just to suit the both of you.

Yes, we will stay away from Brownwood, but we love going south of there to the wonderful walking/biking trails, Fenney Grill, Marshview golf course, and Ednas. We are definitely looking forward to Sawgrass being completed.

That's funny. You quoted my original post but I guess you didn't even read it.

I really don’t through all of the posts; probably not the 1st time it’s been done…

So you like eating at food trucks and yet you call Brownwood a dump... Interesting...

Yeah, we like food trucks. When Rita's was there, we often got a delicious pork burrito to take home. Since they left, we didn't see anything at Edna's that we wanted to eat.

However, we just like to sit there and have drink and listen to the music, especially Gilley and the Girl, Joe Hand, or Dale Stumbo. I had never heard the Byrds song "Feel a whole lot better" sung live until I heard Joe sing it.

That place is not a dump.

And interestingly, VA, it has taken YEARS for the Brownwood stores to rent.
There's more than one hidden message in that, me thinks!

Every square has vacancies... Brownwood has only a few... 1 where Van Heusen went out, one near Cody's and one down by the Street of Dreams...

What is the "hidden meaning" in that?

There has been a pandemic for the last 2 years. I'm surprised there aren't MORE vacancies...

Let's recap, shall we?

No food worth eating, just a place to sit and have a drink...

That is comparable how?

Edna's and the Marshview golf course are absolutely beautiful places that we truly enjoy visiting them.

We recall riding our bikes down there a few years ago when the little golf course was under construction and we thought the whole area was breathtaking. We never imagined that area would turn out so nice.

You posted earlier that you don't like anything at Edna's...

"When Rita's was there, we often got a delicious pork burrito to take home. Since they left, we didn't see anything at Edna's that we wanted to eat."

So, you got a view, and a bar...

I'll agree, the view is nice... The wife and I played Marsh View last Monday...

Yeah, that's right.

Plus a nice golf course and a beautiful walking path that prohibits golf carts. We are easy to please.

Jim, you weren't here say, five to seven years ago or so when there were tons of empty storefronts in Brownwood. It took a loooong time for those places to be rented.

"Hidden meaning?" Well, there is nothing cheap in what the rents probably are that the Morses charge in addition to how much they get from the receipts of each store. A few restaurants have gone out, and more stores than what you've mentioned. Brownwood has always been the ******* stepchild of the three squares and certainly, not the most desirable location for all of them. There's probably more "hidden meaning" than any of us is aware of, as well.
