*Charging stations for electric carts at the Regional Rec Centers (all colleges have electric car charging stations)
*GPS/Google Maps for Golf Cart/Multi-Modal Paths
*Preferred Seating at the squares for Villages ID holders
*Additional Bowling Alleys at LSL and Brownwood
*Larger Print Signage on Golf Cart/Multi-Modal Paths
*Catholic Church on the South end of TV
*Ted's Hot Dog Restaurants (Charcoal grilled year-round)
*TV Newspaper with Hard News/Editorials
*Gas station near LSL/Sweet Bay
*Garbage & Recycling Totes (with covers) (Ban plastic bags placed outside on curb - inviting vermin).
*EZ Pass Type Transponders to open gates (versus having open winder, scan card)
*Racquet Ball courts
*College level courses at Life Time Learning College
*Farmers Market at Squares
*Food & Wine training kitchens
*Employment Center/Call Centers for Work at Home Opportunities (great jobs for retirees!)

Hope this stimulates some discussion and is meant to be thought provoking.

These are great.What I like best about this post is that it's mostly about enhancing lifestyle and provided upgrades in service. Most of these ideas aren't about buying more stuff but creating a better Villages. Nice stuff.......nice stuff......
(there already is a AAA golf cart service )

Trader Joes, Costco, Steinmart!!! Have emailed them all and begged them to come

"Loose Meat Sandwiches" are great and cannot be found down here. Nothing like a loose meat sandwich and a Grain Belt beer for lunch.

St, Vincent DePaul Church is on the South side. But no Golf car access. Small now, but building new Church building on CR462

Also miss Bruster's.

Funny, now that you mention it. Ocala has Guitar Center, Sound Exchange and Parramore. All pretty good. The Villages has, well, noting like that. Go figure.

Can you vision a tatoo parlor, check cashing store, or a pool hall in The Villages?

[Ecuadog]

I'm kinda feelin' the need for a new tat.

[Sanbo]

Steinmart, Home Goods, Cosco, and we (below 466A) could use some of the same stores that are around 466 and 441.

HOOTERS and Race Track get my vote
