I think you need to be careful with negative comments about Wildwood. Yes it was a railroad town until the mid 70's when most to the railroad moved north to Baldwin. I moved to Wildwood in 1979, worked in Wildwood until my retirement. Raised two children who went through the Wildwood School system and have done quite well for themselves. Both are college grads. My wife taught in the school system until her retirement. Its not the Villages but it has been a good place to live for the last 29 years. Yes the Villages has and will have a major impact on the whole area. Be nice, we are your neighbors. and don't think I like the comment that we are a trucker town. I-75 is four miles away and most don't stray from the interstate.
