Default Pre Villages promotional video

for Sun City, by Del Webb. I found it not only quite nostalgic. but historically interesting, not only for the early 1960's cars, but the clothing, hairstyles and so on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki5-...ature=youtu.be

I find it fascinating how Morse and Cortese built, updated and improved upon Del Webb's pioneering ideas. The video shows their "trolley" for visitors, homes built on golf courses spread throughout the community, a clubhouse, "country club", golf cart access to shopping, low taxes (no schools), 50 and over, archery, horse shoes, lawn bowling as well as golf (but no pickle ball - it had yet to be invented).

Here is part one which goes through the reasons why they wanted to move to a sunny retirement community in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxZH_WTRVNU
