Trader Joe's, Trader Joe's, Trader Joe's

Trader Joe's will be one of the places I'll miss most while in TV.

Dunkin Donuts - I don't recall seeing one around TV.

Chistmas Tree Shop - Speaking for my wife.

DD is in the Southern Trace Plaza on 466.

PF Chang's. Are there any good Chinese restaurants in the area?

Hey, it's Christmas! Has anyone suggested a Christmas Tree Shop yet? I hear a lot of people love them.

Many dance wear stores also sell costumes, which would work well with the clown college. Also need to sell stage makeup, which works with the many theatre groups.
-Music stores are non-existant here, and there are so many musical groups here. Someplace that could repair instruments, sell pianos, and have a department for sheet music.
-There is no personalization store here. You know the ones where you can get glassware engraved, or monograms put on towels. That kind of place.

This is just a short list of all the kinds of places that I have wanted and that are not here. Many of the other places I have missed are chains, and wouldn't help you if I listed them. Pleeeeease, open one of these!!!!!!

Ditto on The Big and Tall Men Stores...we could also use a good Lane Bryant. I ALWAYS have to go out of town. All the skinny people have all the luck! grrrrrrr tee hee

LMAO!!!!! Which Village should that be close to? Any amenity fees? With the older population being here, those grave sites might grow larger than The Villages? Maybe houses backing up to graveyards will have to pay a premium for "extra quiet areas".

How about a members only mens club where you could have your designer beer on tap, friendly card games and snooker tables, a library for reading and a small dining area, and maybe a few rooms to rent for those in need. I'm not talking about the VFW style, something along the line of an English mens club. quality decor and patrons.

Now all you of the opposite gender can comence the rock throwing.

A travel agency that specializes in one way tickets back to "When we lived in...". Also, as others have said, a really good sandwich/sub shop. Please don't make me tell you every item to put on it. I order it, you make it.
