Often when we're discussing which village that we live in, many people are unfamiliar with exactly where they are.

If someone says they live in Pinellas, they might have to explain that it's south of 466A and runs between Morse and Buena Vista. If I say I live in Silver Lake, people often ask where it it. I just say the historical district and they know.

It's called that because this is where Harold Schwartz began The Villages. His original home is still standing on the corner of Tarrson and Aloha. This is the history of The Villages. Besides is sounds a lot better than "the old section".


I live in Pinellas.................Darn!!!, now everyone knows where I live.
