The same places us Villagers go. There will continue to be the crowding at the Brownwood and the Colony Plaza.

I'd rather have The Villages develop the area... At least this way there can be plans included to help alleviate the overcrowding as part of the master plan.
The other day at Laurel Manor, I overheard a lady say that she lives down in the Colony area, but comes up to Laurel Manor to workout frequently because the Colony Recreation center is so crowded, especially during the snowbird season. I don't think it's too crowded north of 466, but I hear quite a bit of complaining about south of 466A? being crowded. Maybe I'm wrong. Right now, the things I like to do and the schedule I keep seems to work out, so I'm happy. But I understand people concerned that the place is getting too crowded for the available amenities. Of course, I like the roundabouts, too.
