It seems that almost every person says, "What or where is THE VILLAGES???."
Has this happened to you? How do you respond? Sometimes I sound like a commercial.
It isn't advertised a lot on billboards or even road signs as you approach the area.
Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe we should try to just keep it a secret.

gg,
You are in Cincinnati now. That's why this is happening to you.
Mark Twain is credited with having said something to the effect of, "If the world is coming to an end, go to Cincinnati. Everything there happens 20 years later." (Or maybe it's 10 or 15 years later. Can't remember. But I know how it goes around these parts sometimes. I guess Twain did, too.)
