Fact text

  • Residents cruise the palm-lined streets in golf carts, it's completely legal and most shops even have dedicated golf cart parking spots.
  • The community library was kick-started in 1963 by one woman, Erma Krauch, who donated 5,000 books from her own collection.
  • Popeye comic book artist Bud Sagendorf called Sun City Center home, so this retirement town has a legit connection to a certain spinach-loving sailor.
