Is SoWal ready for it's own miniature golf course?

I don't want anything fancy- just normal community stuff. Even small communities (like Freeport) have a pool- it would be great for the high school and middle schools to have swim/dive teams. The pool is just one example of what many people consider basics. I know people survived without these things before, but now more people live here, and meeting the needs of the community as a whole enhances property values.

The reality is that we need more community "stuff" to enhance our property values- plenty of people have become full-timers, have kids, contribute to the local economy, and now need basic community infrastructure like sports/rec facilities, arts, excellence in education, etc. Adding to the community infrastructure is good growth.

of course you are completely right on every point here jdarg! I just like to complain about people moving in from larger communities wanting more stuff like they had wherever they came from. this place is uniquely wonderful not to mention perfect without all the stuff - even so we have literally never lacked for recreation, swimming, or anything I can think of. but its all coming, and we'll all benefit and be glad when it does. In some ways I would like to see SoWal incorporate and bring city level services tailored to meet the needs our unique town. The County level govt is greatly lacking in vision, imo.

I agree, Tootsie. It is precisely because we have so much natural wonder to begin with; that the lack of vision becomes so critical imo.

Think what we could have had if there had been more vision! It is frustrating to people who want the leadership to "see" the vision.
