He had a vision of how big this place would be and the opportunities. As with every business person in the world, Harold enjoyed making money while he created this awesome place. Same with the Morse family. And to all of them, a great big  |
They sure changed my life for the better.
I enjoy hearing about the "good old days" in The Villages. Did Harold really think it would be this big or maybe even bigger? If so, did he share how big with you?
I use to think all the unique amenities were put up north and couldn't understand why they weren't mirrored down south. Now I think they were built for 100,000 plus people long before anyone else expected this growth.
Maybe it's the same with the big box stores and department stores. They are not that far away no matter where you live.
