YOU may think that, but I don't agree. I am guessing that they are establishing some kind of precedent to keep some kind of bus business from using our parking lots as public lots and advertising for outsiders to park here..
They have sold out all kinds of businesses including entertainment, transportation, The Lighthouse, Cane Garden, the restaurant where Panera is now,and Southern Lifestyles, the furniture store, keeping the buildings to rent to new businesses.
I am fully aware that the Morses are capitalists which I fully support, and in my opinion are astute business people, but getting into a niche business like tour buses just doesn't seem plausible.
I don't use tour buses regularly, and none of the people who I know well except for CFrance do...so I have to wonder just what percent of the population here do use them. I wouldn't think many, as I have never seen droves of people boarding a bus. Usually some club or another are begging you to go along so they can fill a bus.
There is a good reason why this is being done and I think it is for our good here in The Villages.
But I have been wrong before.
And I am sorry for those who are being inconvenienced by this decision. They obviously enjoyed this very much. And I may want to do it too someday and will rant about it not being convenient.
