Hubby and I took a nice drive to Fenney, Desoto and McClure area. We walked along the nature trail which was lovely. Within The Villages is just lovely down there.

Having said that, driving to and from points south on 468/Morse Blvd, there is still quite a bit of local housing that looks like Tobacco Road. Not very nice to have to drive through. In fact, there was one home owner who was burning some sort of trash that made an awful stench in the area, not to mention eye watering fumes and billows of smoke. It was just awful. There are Villages homes very close to that back yard "bonfire" when we drove on 468. I wouldn't want to live in close proximity to those non Villages homes.

Please don't take this as bashing of the southern areas of The Villages. Just an observation that is most evident to anyone who drives there.
