If you ask Don Poppleton what inspired him and his wife Barbara to relocate from New England to World Golf Village more than 10 years ago, he might say it’s partly in the name. A champion golfer, Don now enjoys beautiful views of the King & Bear from his back yard in Windmill Estates and close proximity to top notch courses and amenities.
Don has also secured a position as a notable contributor to the community. He is currently serving in his second term on the Member Advisory Committee for the World Golf Village Golf Courses Club, and concluded his term as President last year.
We recently caught up with Don to ask some questions about himself and his experience here in World Golf Village.

Throughout his professional life, Bo Strange has strived to fulfill a need and his more than 30-year career has centered on providing much needed public services. Today, Bo stays true to his passion by delivering a very important service that most of us take for granted – portable restrooms. His company Lovely Loo provides facilities for a wide range of events throughout Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.
Clients of Lovely Loo, a small family owned business, have come to expect refreshingly personalized service as well as top quality amenities that flush away the typical preconceptions about portable restrooms. We’re talking wood floors, fresh mints, and event-coordinated flower arrangements. Lovely Loo offers it all. We recently caught up with Bo to learn more.

Davidson Realty’s team took an afternoon to leave our World Golf Village-based office and make our way to Julington Creek for lunch at 
Blackstone Grille. We had heard wonderful things about the bistro style restaurant located at Bartram Oaks Walk (close to the intersection of SR13 San Jose and Race Track Road), but we had to try it for ourselves. Our group of 30 was graciously greeted and seated in a private room. We had exceptional service and scrumptious food!
Blackstone Grille offered us a fixed menu to cater to our large group size and help with timing of the lunch. We had to get back to the real world at some point, I guess! Especially with all the home sales and real estate closings our amazing agents have been handling.

Ready to begin your next house hunting adventure? Great! Before you hit the pavement, Troy Silhan of Bank of England has some sage advice: Be certain you understand your pre-approval! It is vital that home buyers recognize what a pre-approval is – and isn’t – as well as the differences between the various pre-approval processes and documents.
We recently caught up with Troy to discuss pre-approvals and clear up some lingering misconceptions about this important step in the purchasing process.
