Wait a minute, this was a thread about questions. it still is.
I don't know.

Call me crazy but I kinda think that the growth of Wildwood is up to the residents of Wildwood and what they want (or don't want) to do about their community. If they're contented, why should we stick our noses into their lifestyle just because it may not mesh with what we think should be there.

You are right on. I just thing Ms kitty has an axe to grind. Maybe she should go down to brown wood and shake it out.
Graciegirl wildwood has a McDonald's on 44. As for being like mt dora they have a great draw from the cities to the south I have been there many many time and to me it isn't that great.
You have ask many times where I live well I am here and have been since 1996 I have see a lot of changes in serveal places I remember when they were just building the wall around Morse 466 was two lane, nothing south of 466 just cows 466a had a few houses and of late many post on how things should change people that don't know what they are talking about. If you purchased in the villages that is what your concern should be, let the other town be you really don't have a voice and it just leads to hard feelings. There is enough I'll feeling people who say they are afraid to walk the streets well stay where you feel safe. Other say they would not like wildwood people driving on the golf cart trails well maybe the folks in wildwood would not like the village folk driving on their streets.
Everyone has picked where they want to live so enjoy. One on the big rubs is how the village folks like to take over ask around don't be shy and don't be so smart talking about all the thing you have done for the area. Wildwood has been here a long time and I don't see the people lining the streets asking for help. The villages has there problems if you are so minded to help lend your hand maybe you could carry water to the people planting the flowers . Get off the towns backs

Wow Granny !!!chilout

Who has an axe?

Granny I don't think Kitty has an axe to grind. Why would she? I just believe in "live and let live".

I doubt if Granny speaks for all of the citizens of Wildwood but she is expressing her opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

I would suggest that the best way to help Wildwood is to lend a helping hand where it is needed - and that is at the Wildwood Soup Kitchen and Pantry. That town is so poverty stricken and Villagers help out on every shift of the Soup Kitchen and Pantry - but more volunteer are always needed.

There is also the Christian Food Pantry in Lady Lake that provides groceries to over 400 families in the Lady Lake, The Villages, Summerfield, and Belleview areas.

Kitty's hopes are for a future for the town of Wildwood. Volunteer at the Wildwood Soup Kitchen and Pantry and help someone NOW! The future is now! Pitch in now.

Granny posted, "Wildwood has been here a long time and I don't see the people lining the streets asking for help."

I can see that Granny does not visit the Wildwood Soup Kitchen and Pantry. There are people lined up every day asking for help.

Careful what you wish for.....golf carts go both ways.

I just don't believe in being hurtful especially in a public forum like this.

You hit the nail on the head. I truly believe that MOST people living in TV have absolutely no idea of the poverty that surrounds us. I have students that sleep in tents, backs of pickup trucks or even in aluminum sheds in back yards. These children are less than 5 minutes from our borders. Help is needed throughout the area. Pick a side:north, south, east or west!

I am nonplussed.
grannynance says Wildwood is just fine and instead of focusing on their economy I should help TV instead, then admits Wildwood has extreme poverty and tells me I should go work in their soup kitchen.
It's just nuts. I'm shaking my head in disbelief.
I've asked for the thread to be closed due to relentless attacks on my character, integrity and heart.

How can we help the kids?

I think that instead of trying to make revitalizing Wildwood the top priority, Villagers should first concentrate on the very poor citizens of Wildwood, The Villages, Lady Lake, and Fruitland Park.

Once the citizens are taken care of with daily essentials of life, then start working on a long term plan.

Those posters who said they are long term Floridians should know the extreme poverty that is so prevalent in the rural communities that encircle The Villages.

Thousands of homeless children in the counties around The Villages. I don't think they will benefit from boutiques in Wildwood.

thousands of homeless children???
