Have you tried Murphy's - 466 at the WalMart end. Sells American Gas only - no foreign gas.

Ooops, sorry, didn't see the "A" on your 466!

I would love to see some mountains! Okay I know that can't be, but I love the mountains and think that would make The Villages perfect, at least for me.

Definitely a good coney island...maybe you could do a geographical coney...new york coney, detroit coney, etc..From what I understand it's almost impossible to find a good coney dog in Florida.

-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.
I agree with this 1000%. There are no really good music shops in the area.

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.
Now that we're almost there, we looked around for a big Fitness Center. There is one in Spanish Springs, but we'll be down south of 466A. I'm used to a big fitness center, like LA Fitness. I did see the small gym that's in the Rec Center, but for the money that isn't worth it. I googled, but there's nothing around that fits.

Oh man would I LOVE a White Castle!
However, they are only in 11 states.
I contacted them about the possibility of a franchise in So. Fl.
First of all they will not franchise! Secondly they will not expand due (I believe) to distribution centers they have and are not willing to set up anymore.

First - and I mean FIRST thing I do when I arrive on LI is have my son stop at a WC before we get to his house - and he knows it! LOL

Krystals is just as good and they are in Florida but the nearest is Ocala. Everytime we make the 25 mile trip up I-75 to Ocala's Paddock Mall I always stop at Krystals first about a mile past the mall.
