That Casino parking lot looks fuller than it ever has -
Time to audit that place and the agencies that govern it.
All casino's in the State, for that matter......

Funny, I'm not sure St. Joe can support the retail business's already here.
Another hospital is not a horrible idea, maybe another community college.
On What do you want to see on the South Belt?
You get what you pay for when it comes to anything, scooters included.
I've seen some really bad Chinese scooters, and some decent ones - how can you tell the difference?
And many of these "Cheap" scooters do not meet our State laws requirements for a "motorized bike" and truly need to be licensed, as well as the rider meeting the requirements of a motorcycle license.
I really do not like it when a few bad apples ruin something for the majority.
But, it seems that is the American way.....
I'd rather see the kids involved with scooters than sex and drugs and alcohol and sex and -
Supervision, falls back on the parents...
And for a compassionate society.
nothing wicked about that......

Cell phones should be banned from a lot of places......

Some decent restaurants, build the area around Menards up with those and maybe a small outlet/strip mall.
Motivate the truck stop across the street from Menards "ramp it up".
That is the area that seems prime for development.

StJoeMoe-I'm curious who's comments it is that you refer to as being full of fear and hate."

I see scooters on Belt Highway and Frederick Ave. all the time..illegal! For another, I see very young kids (not of driving age) driving scooters...illegal! For yet another, I see some scooter drivers, not all, disobeying traffic laws 101 all the time, running stop signs, not yielding...illegal!
Another point that needs to be made is the fact that, yes, you scooter drivers are not required to wear a helmet (even though it's very much recommended), please consider the possibility that you are involved in an accident (your fault or not, doesn't matter), your head will hit the pavement like a ripe melon just like anyone without a helmet on a motorcycle. It doesn't matter what speed you're able to travel. If a car hits you, and it really doesn't take much speed, the delta V, or change in velocity, on impact is what injures your body.
So take heed, scooter drivers, you're not any more protected than the rest of us. Your scooter may not be able to go as fast as the other vehicles on the road, but that does not mean you'll get less hurt.
Also, if you're uninsured driving that scooter and you cause an accident, I can still file suit against you for damages. In that, I could attach liens against your personal property, but I may not get any money to cover them, but your credit would be ruined. If you are under the age of 18, I can sue your parents for your negligence.

Yours, to be honest, and that is only my opinion. I am sorry if that offends you.
Seemed like you were talking down to scooterist, not cool.
Loosen up and live a little, life it too short.

107MPH, that is funny.
107 Miles Per Gallon, sorry about that -
Still, they deliver a thousand SMILES per gallon!
Now, there are scooters that will go in speeds in excess of a hundred miles per hour. Not these small ones we are discussing.
"Any two-wheeled or three-wheeled device having an automatic transmission and a motor with a cylinder capacity of not more than fifty (50) cubic centimeters, which produces less than three (3) gross brake horsepower, and is capable of propelling the device at a maximum speed of not more than thirty (30) miles per hour on level ground."

We recently got 107 MPH on one of our Honda Metropolitans, and it was not the thrifty one.
I do not appreciate hearing the comments from one person above, they sound like a person full of fear and hate.
Bad for America.
Me, I've got to get back to work, on my scooter!
