He did try to sensationalize and add intrigue to some of the book to pique people's curiosity.

His reference to the loss of a community of its senior citizens that ensure continuity had validity.

Early on TV was primarily a homogeneous demographic but as it grows that demographic is changing.

A friend of mine e-mailed me a U-Tube video entitled the Seven Strangest Cities In The World. or something to that effect The Villages was listed as number one city

Why this place even gets noticed is a puzzlement to me? Its just a place.
My three adult children haven’t visited The Villages yet but they are very curious about this place and probably will visit in the future at some point. I located that YouTube video referenced above. I don’t think I will send it to the “kids”.
