We develop many websites and wound up putting our LOL project in hold for a few years while building other projects that has a global focus. As local residents we are re-visiting our plans for Land O Lakes.

I moved from Tampa to Land O Lakes in 2007 and have seen the explosive growth along the SR-54 corridor first hand, especially since the Great Recession ended. Looks like it may be time to start regular coverage of LOL on Twitter that I first envisioned doing a decade ago :-)

That NE corner of the Suncoast Parkway & SR54 I mentioned in 2014 has exploded with the huge new Bexley development, state of the art emergency room & Racetrac gas station on the way.

Here we GROW again. Major construction on NE corner of SR 54 & Suncoast Parkway. What is going up?

We're enjoying the new Aquafinz Seafood Restaurant at the SE corner of SR54 & the Suncoast Parkway - much needed addition to local choices

Here we GROW again. Major construction on NW corner of SR 54 & Sunlake Blvd (in front of Sunlake HS). What is going up?

Pretty day in Land O Lakes, Florida but after this long string of 92-95 degree days we're ready for October and some cooler weather!

What a way for the Rays to lose to the Twins - ball bounces off catwalk and lands fair. It's like playing baseball inside a PINBALL MACHINE!

[Ron Jackson @LandOLakes]

SR54 on either side of the Suncoast Pkwy is going to be torn up for months for construction project - A pain but it's the price of progress.

[Ron Jackson @LandOLakes]

I understand M/I is ramping up home building, They built our home and after 3 years in the house can say construction quality was very solid

[Ron Jackson @LandOLakes]

Very surprised to see Lennar building new homes behind Sunlake High School in Land O Lakes. More proof this area is defying the economy?

[Ron Jackson @LandOLakes]

Glad Tampa Bay Rays sold out 3 games vs. Yankees. Attendance for other games would be boosted by bus service from areas like Land O Lakes.

[Ron Jackson @LandOLakes]

Tampa Bay Bucs open camp this weekend. Another great thing about Land O Lakes Florida - NFL, MLB and NHL all at our doorstep! Go Rays!

[Ron Jackson @LandOLakes]

We support new increase in Pasco County school taxes. We owe our kids quality schools & good schools increase the value of your home too.

P.S. on Tampa Airport: Thank God we have Southwest Airlines. They refuse to rob their customers with baggage & other bogus fees. WE LUV SWA!

[Ron Jackson @LandOLakes]

Another thing to love about Land O Lakes Florida - Tampa Intl Airport just 25-minute non-stop drive away on the Suncoast Parkway.
