I know a couple who moved from the Village of Tamarind Grove to Bradenton, which is next to Sarasota, last March. They came here in 2011 from Long Island, NY. He worked part-time at Walmart and I played softball with him for a couple of years.
They were not your typical villager. Bob still smoked, and as an ex-smoker I noticed that. It didn't hinder him, he was a great ball player. He would hit a home run and then go over and have a smoke. Him and his wife both had tattooes and rode a pair of Harleys they owned. They would take day trips to the beach quite often.
So last March when I found out their home was for sale, I was a little surprised they were leaving TV. However, after thinking about it, they were probably the people I could imagine doing that. They said they spent so much time at the beach, they figured they might as well move there.
