Ebay works just fine for me, and there is no food at SJTC that I just can't find close to home. The City planners get an F for the road system as well. Might as well put in a roundabout there at the light to Gate Parkway and same at Costco.

one of my favorite things to do is to be behind someone turning right from Gate on to Town Center that has absolutely no idea that they have a TURN LANE ALL TO THEMSELVES... yet they stay paused, yeidling to find a spot in... so i just LAY ON MY HORN... because ignorance deserves a good honk every once in a while... now i find myself hoping someone is stopped just so i can honk at them... i have a problem lol

Stop honking at me!!! Ignorance is bliss.

just wait til they put a GAS STATION there!!!! wait either i won't hold my breath or we're all better off without one...

I think that if there was to be a gas station going in, it'd be over by the 9A interchange instead of along the strip of the Town Center proper.

nicktooch, I do that at every intersection where there is no yield sign. I think I even broke my horn, once. Occasionally, I even go around the concrete divider from that turn lane and make the right turn from there to bypass all the lemmings...

Thats a good solution.

While probably illegal, and while definitely adding to the whole "oh, there goes one of *those* people" appearance, it does indeed work.

Especially since people are too lazy to drive up to the 9A interchange, going 9A to UNF, then coming in the "back way" to the SJTC.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no sign depicting "NO RIGHT TURN" (I'll continue to do it until I get a hand slap).

Found this plan for the Bahama Breeze at the SJTC:

Yay Bahama Breeze fake Caribbean! I love that place.

sooo we're assuming this is going in the space where Ruby Tuesdays was said to be? River Coast Dr is the address so either next to Mimi's (RT spot), or there's space near Wasabi/American Backyard.

One day, we'll get a high end dept store on a bit of that lot, or the field behind J. Alexander's.
