Wow you and Angie must like Sweet Tomatoes a lot to drive from Channanon to Schaumburg! It is good though. I understand a Sweet Tomatoes has opened near TV in the last couple of months on 27/441. I don't know if you can get there in a golf cart or not, but at least you will still be able to get your Sweet Tomatoes fix in TV.

Just outside golf cart territory. But I guess you could golf cart into Target parking lot and just cross the street. Not much of a walk.

We used to live in Wheaton and would drive to your mall! Now, mind you, that was about 30 years ago. Have been back a couple of times. Like you, we are too young to make it to the TV soon and have to be content to visit often. Also have to hope and pray that retirement will still be do-able at 62! Wish there was a way for young retiree's to pool together and buy an affordable health plan....then we would be there sooner!

We have a date with our sales agent to lock and load and start the house December 13th. Best Christmas present ever. The plan is to move in around April 1st. We can't wait. I appreciate all the good news and tips on TOTV. I'm already putting a list of companies to do and not to do business with.

Hi ssmith, Actually for as close as I live to Woodfield Mall - about 5 miles - I probably don't go there more than 4 times a year and never during the month of December. If I don't step into Woodfield unless I absolutely have to, I'm not tempted to buy something I really don't need. Sales tax in suburban Cook (also known as Crook) County is 9.5% now, but it is supposed to be lowered to 9.25% sometime in 2012. Yes, that health insurance is a biggie for me. I'm hoping to survive my job for another 8-9 yrs., but I would still need to work at some job after 59 to get health insurance coverage. I will be in TV renting for 8 days starting July 6, and I hope to return to TV to rent in October. I'm fortunate that with my years of service with my employer, I receive a lot of vacation. If I only received 2 wks. of vacation per yr. getting down to TV would be a lot harder. Happy 4th of July to you!

We bought Lot # 1 on Bradford Loop. Just sold our house here in Orlando. Closing is August 15 and we will begin constructing the "perfect Lily" that afternoon! Very excited to meet all our new friends.

Came down to TV last week. Patti and I really fell in love with the location of the Village of Sanibel. It's close to the shopping center, rec. center and not that far (even in a golf cart) to Lake Sumter Landing. We ordered our house which will be on Alwick Way and will be closing on 9/29. I never thought that picking out what you want in your home would be so easy and fun. I'm really impressed with the construction of the homes. We also had the pleasure of meeting two of our new neighbors and I got a couple of quotes on a new golf cart...which is a must!!! Looking forward to meeting everyone in the neighborhood. Jim and Patti

We were riding around in sanbiel today and seen some barb wire fence in the interior lots along the roads. Anyone have any idea are there animals out there roaming around that they are wanting to stop?
