i knew them all…
Every one of our Property Owners Association residents…
Ever.
i’ve known them all.
Starting with the original ‘settlers’ (pre-1990)…
Abney, Vercammen, Rennells, Powell, Spore, Donkel, Renaldo, Nguyen (?, the ‘farmers’ with the pond).
And everyone since 1990.
We have always been a lowkey, pleasant community.
State Road 535 widened from two to four lanes between 2008-2011.
Either side of 2015 the future caught up with our community and we never collectively rallied around proactive, modern-day thinking.
The pressures of an attractive location near Walt Disney World, plenty of new housing and new infrastructure, year-round palm trees and sunshine, plus a never-ending exposure to global tourists….
Tension.
Ambition.
Fear.
It’s tested and grown my creativity, resolve, and optimism.
We will flourish again. Sooner rather than later.
