I have just found out that Wal-mart Stores Inc. has decided they would not pursue a new supercenter at Plaza Collina. Ya think? We already had one just a few miles down the street. When I first heard that Plaza Collina had landed Walmart as their "anchor", I was kind of surprised. I had always thought that Plaza Collina was supposed to be a bunch of upscale stores...Walmart just didn't seem to fit that bill.
Does losing Walmart change the landscape of the Plaza? Not sure, but developers of the Collina project have said they will continue moving forward despite losing Walmart.
So, what store will replace Walmart as the new anchor? I don't know, but here is a store that I think would do great in South Lake County...Bass Pro Shop. With all of the great lakes and fishing in this area, how do we not have one yet? Come on Plaza Collina Developers...make it happen!!!
What stores/restaurants would you like to see in Lake County? State your opinion, you never know who is reading!!!
Until next time...

Clermont Christian Academy to Host a Basketballathon
What is a basketballathon? It is an opportunity for students, parents, and friends to help raise money for the school through pledges from the community. Donors can pledge a certain amount per basket made by the Chargers in their February 29th game with CHEF or simply make a flat donation. All the money raised will be used in the general operation needs of the academy to keep the tuition costs affordable to CCA's school families.
Meet the boys who will be shooting for your money!

A Word from the Coach
"Coming into this season, I didn't know what to expect. My experience has always been in coaching boys teams...I had been very successful at that. The difference in these girls from the first day of practice until now is night and day. These girls are learning to push themselves harder than they thought possible. Don't get me wrong, we have ALONG way to go. We are working hard this year. Trying to teach them the game of basketball. Our hard work is not translating to wins right now, but I guarantee you this...In 2-3 years, people of this area will know who the Clermont Christian Academy Lady Chargers are. Write that down." -Johnny Davis
Until next time...

Johnny was very helpful during my house-buying experience. He took extra time and effort to educate me on how to find a house that suited me and my needs at a great price. I would recommend him to anybody I know in the market to buy or sell a house.

"When we decided to find a house to flip as an investment, we really didn't know where to start looking. Johnny searched out a particular area and started sending out flyers to people whose homes weren't listed on the MLS. To our surprise, we heard back from a man in Pennsylvania who wanted to sell us his home for around 61% of value."
Jenny
Leesburg, FL.
Johnny listed our 2 story, 5 acre home in Clermont and had a buyer for us fairly quickly. We were pleased with his attention to detail and his marketing. This was the first time we had sold a "house" and the process went very smooth. We were even allowed to stay in our house for an extra month at no cost!!!
Johnny & Debbie
Clermont, Fl.
"Johnny has assisted me in finding multiple investment properties with great success. He was very professional and went the extra mile to get things accomplished. On one occasion we were going to look at a property when I saw another plot of land that was more appealing. Johnny located the owner, got her to sell it way below market, and flipped it for me in two weeks. If your looking to find a great deal then I recommend his services you won't be disappointed"
