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
Enjoyed watching those. Sun City West/Grand was the other place we were looking at retiring to. I'll forward these to our friends in SC Grand.
