OK, I think I'm on topic with my thoughts here.........
Lately, I've noticed our once pristine common grounds such as along roadsides and bordering golf courses are not pristine any more. One example is along Odell Circle, bordering one of the golf courses between Mallory Square and Amelia. The weeds and grass have grown right over a long stretch of the curb and are touching the street. I have always seen perfectly manicured and diamond edged grass along this area and all fo the roadways I have driven. It is pitiful to see how unkept some parts of The Villages has become.
I'm also seeing palm fronds down for weeks that have not been moved and this is not after a hurricane. It really looks trashy. The Villages used to be a pristine Utopia for lack of a better word. Not so much anymore.
Why is this happening? I honestly don't think there is a work force large enough to keep our beautiful community in the pristine condition it used to be in. The Villages has grown so much and is only growing larger. There must be so many jobs out there for landscapers but not enough reliable workers to fill the positions.
