I knew They were coming!

1) Traffic on Bailey Trail (now a main drag to the newest areas on the west side) is increasingly "awful!"

2) I heard all sorts of accents among shoppers at Publix in Southern Trace this morning. I mean aside from the usual New England/New Yawk/Joisey twangs!

Welcome all!

Eagles Fan
 
Hi Canucks,
I'm also heading to TV and will arrive on Nov 1 but for only 1 week. I'm doing the Lifestyle Preview so I know I'll be near where you'll be staying. If I were a football fan, I'd be chearing for the Eagles. Since they are having a rough season, I'm really glad I don't have to go thru the agony of defeat anymore.

I hope you have as much fun as I plan to have. I've looked at the 10-day forecast so it looks like the temps will be in the mid to upper 70's.
Maybe I'll run into you at one of the Squares. Have fun.

Now I want to hear the stories about Wildwood.....
And thanks for the info!

Hmmmmm.... We may have to come back in February!!

Canuck, the bar at TGI Friday's at LSL will change the channel to whatever you want to see, plus they're open late. You could walk home from there if you had to.... :p

Canucks, Welcome to TOTV. Please post about your experiences when you visit. This wannabee lives vicariously from all who are about to buy or move to TV be it full-time or part-time. :wave:

Also - traveling with some Buffalo Bills fans (booo)
Looking forward to seeing those games with the other fans!

The cafe in Spanish Springs called McCalls caterers to Bills Fans. We are Bengals fans so we went there when they palyed Buffalo. When we got there the Bills were winning 17-3. The Begals cane back to win 24-25. We tried to rein in our excitement since tyhe other fans were ribbing us. It was a fun day because we sat outside.

Yes, unfortunately the Villages Recreation Department's policy is to have regional clubs meet on the same date. I'm a member of both clubs, so I wish that policy would change.

I think your 2 week stay may already be over but just wanted to say hi and I hope you had a great stay!
