A Katie-Belle's type nightclub restaurant with live entertainment every night, state of the art sound system, and five-star restaurant. This would fit in very nicely with the architecture of the old-west town.

Also, how about another Church-on-the-square? No matter how much they enlarge and remodel the existing one, it will soon be too small.

The planners should replicate the venues that have worked well in the past.

YES. a park with all that and benches and a small duck pond. Like the little plaza next to Church on the Square, but larger.
And a Trader Joe's and a DQ and more local restaurants.

It is Brownwood for the square. maybe they're calling the shops brownville? My maiden name is Brown and Geewiz' is Brown, so we could be cousins!
I tire of driving so far to shop from home in Gilchrist...happy to have any new retail or eatery. heard a Walmart is going in on 44 west...
can we hear it for postal service?

The train looks something like the one at the St. Louis Zoo. Well, this would put the final touch to an Adult Wally World! Actually, I've thought about free transportation in TV between the squares, grocery stores and other shopping. Some clean (air) and comfortable buses running every 30 minutes is more what I had in mind. Just a thought.......

ha ha, that's cute! It can be confusing because the square is called Paddock Square, but the shopping area is Brownwood. Unlike Spanish Springs and Sumter Landing, where the square and the shopping have the same name. This will cause some confusion for a long time, but we'll all deal with it just fine.

Well, there are new shops and stores opening in Wildwood (like the new bakery I mentioned). Golf cart access to those areas would be nice but not gonna happen I'm afraid.

How about something like the Red Train in St Augustine? It does not require a track and can run two or three trains with several cars and make the entire circuit in an hour's time (or less).

Actually the Spanish Springs square is called Town Square and the LSL square is called Market Square, at least on the official map!
