There is a great mini golf course right off 466 on Rolling acres rd. It is Tree Tops golf. Run by a very nice group of people.

Besides TV needing me and DH to sell our house and relocate, with all the upstate NY posters, I was surprised no-one mentioned Dinosaur Bar-b-que. The places in Rochester, Syracuse and Harlem are always packed, haven't been to the Troy or Newark locations. Blues, Bikes and Bar-b-que. They cater too which is really nice.

We need an Aveda salon. There is one in Ocala, a 50 minute drive, and another in Mt. Dora.

I agree with you on Texas Roadhouse. Just ate there tonight in Louisville. Wonderful meal.

I have owned Photography Studios, Make Up Studios, Hair Studios

Any help would be great, i have seen a few shops to rent so would not be hard to get things in motion.
Hi, I think a really good Doggie Daycare. The best one I've seen is Pet Paradise, Jacksonville, FL. It has little rooms for the dogs, with TV's and then a doggied door out to a grassy area that was fenced. The Doggie Play area had a pool and a big area to run around. I'm from MA, and we had one that would come and pick up your dogs. They had a little school bus. It was so cute. For some people, the dogs are like their children, so they'll pay for the best. I would.

So often after dinner my husband and I would love to go out for a treat, but there is really no place special to visit.

My husband and I were just talking about that. It would be so nice to have a hometown style coffee shop to go to on our early morning walks!

Ditto for the Irish Pub! It would be great if it were similar to the Golden Bee at the Broadmoor with a sing-along piano player!

I agree with the "home town" coffee shop. At home, my friends and I use it walk to the local coffee shop after exercise class every Tue and Thur. It was a local hang out for coffee drinkers, it was like "Cheers."
