Very good point!

You have to go back to a side road, get in line at a long traffic light (which also has no right turn lane) to get back out onto 44. Why is there nit an entrance into 44 from the parking lot? There is a light 1/4 mile down the road to provide the break in traffic. I agree with the original commenter. What a mess. And there are 100 more examples.
The sherwin williams you referenced is not in TV. Private shopping center

But I also wish walkers would have some kind of light on then when in tunnels.
I'm a runner and haven't worked up the nerve yet to run over the Water Lily and Brownwood bridges. I do wish there were dedicated pedestrian lanes all the way across!

So frustrating!!
WOW, do I feel bad for you. Such nasty responders to your concerns. And people wonder why we're seen as "grouchy old cronies" of the Villages. For those of you that responded in a nasty manner, remember this saying that I tell all the young soldiers and Marines that I still teach....."your opinion can't be wrong, it's just your opinion so how can it be wrong?" also "you're entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts"

I like The Villages, if someone is that unhappy, then go to another place. Been to almost every place around here and nobody, and nowhere even comes close. Don’t #### on The Villages!

Not very informative. You need to be more specific cause use what you posted makes no sense.

TOTALLY AGREE. Yep, the OP is sitting back munching popcorn and sipping a few, while reading - some get in a lather here - either pro or con. When I first read the OP, I was waiting for some clarification, but of course NO. All the views and rsps simply feed the troll-beast.
