I've never been to Gibson, but my guess is that it's slightly more rural and redneck Archived Message Posted by Sounder on June 3, 2022, 13:18:53, in reply to "Adfession, I've never been to Bartonville, but from what Sounder says..." Bartonville is a small town, but it's also a 15 minute drive to downtown Peoria. Previous Message ...it sounds like Gibson to me. Previous Message but i don't spend much time in bartonville. Previous Message ...and there wasn't a bunch of people within 10 years either side of us with families that didn't have them. Previous Message My parents live in a retirement community in Florida, and everyone uses them to get around. I've never heard of normals getting them. I was in Austin last year and there was a golf community where a bunch of kids were riding around on them. Previous Message ...big rubber wheels, boomin stereo, lotsa bells and whistles, but undoubtedly a golf cart. Previous Message Previous Message ...my cousin just sold her 6 seater for like 10K and bought a 20K dollar offroad thing-a-ma-bob? When / why did everyone start buying golf carts? Previous Message Previous Message Nothing to strenuous here! Some yard work. Some lounging. Probably some drinks. Probably some grilling.
