Outdoor restrooms in Lake Sumter Landing

The Villages tries to make residents and visitors comfortable. Thus, Lake Sumter Landing offers some very nice, colorful outdoor restrooms.

Restored 1949 Ford

Found this jewel parked at the town square in Lake Sumter Landing. In my last year of high school, several students had bought 1949 Fords and then customized them in a variety of ways, which usually included twin exhaust pipes and lowering the rear end.

I saw a 1949 Ford convertible for sale on eBay - nicely customized. It can be yours for only $17,750 USD.

Red Sauce

The Red Sauce, in Lake Sumter Landing, is a new Italian restaurant in the same building that formerly housed another Italian restaurant, Dominig's.

Lois Anne and I ate there recently and found the food to be very good, the service excellent, and the prices reasonable.

Lake Sumter Landing at night

If you look closely, you'll see I was just able to sneak in that sliver of a moon!

Staircase in Spanish Springs

Back to one of my favorite subjects - staircases. This one is located at the rear of a building that faces Main Street in Spanish Springs. Notice that you may not smoke on the landing!

Amigos in Spanish Springs

I love signs and thought this was a good one. The colors are bright and eye-catching and it makes you feel welcome by calling you amigo!

Amigos is located on the first floor of La Reina in Spanish Springs. We have not yet eaten there, but plan to rectify that error in judgment quite soon.

Cruisin' down Main Street

It was unusually quiet one late afternoon when we spotted this gentleman cruisin' down Main Street in Spanish Springs.

Golf car dining

It's hard to beat enjoying a meal in your golf car while listening to great country music!

Cutesy golf club covers

It seems that almost everyone living in The Villages plays golf. There are probably 30 golf courses between Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter Landing. Often, when a group finishes a round of golf, they buzz into one of the home towns for a drink or something to eat.

I think these people were eating at Up The Creek in Lake Sumter Landing. But aren't those cute head covers?

Welcome to Up The Creek Seafood Bar & Grill

This gentleman welcomes diners to Up The Creek Seafood Bar & Grill at Lake Sumter Landing. He's a very nice man who loves people and loves to talk. I have no idea why he's wearing a red nose.
