I’ve met two that were here before Harold Schwartz turned Orange Blossom into The Villages. They got some really sweet incentives to not move — free ComCast and free garbage as long as they didn’t move.
Getting limo rides to TV was pretty common when I first moved here, especially for lifestyle visits. Ditto free movie passes, Villages’ bucks to spend in local restaurants and shops, etc. Free furniture or upgrades on new purchases. Those were the days.
