I am sure you are right.
We all know where to find good food up North in all of our own old areas.
I don't think that anything but the market will change the type or quality of food served here. I don't like that anyone suggests that most people who live in The Villages do not know and appreciate good food or that they are cheap. I don't think that anyone, the developer or the people who now have leases at the country clubs will change much because they have adequate patronage.
I think that people who seek excellent food are living here, but not people who are willing to pay as much as some people are willing to pay for eating out, especially since many do it many times a week.
That does not mean they don't have the money.
I will repeat. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. Another thing that happens as we age, is that our tastes change and our appetite may drop. Many of us don't eat as much as we used to and are satisfied with simple meals. THAT DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE HERE HAVE POOR TASTE IN FOOD AND IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND ON IT.
