When we retire, I want less maintenance and more fun activities. The idea of spending our days working out, going golfing and swimming, shopping and dining on the squares, going to classes and listening/dancing to live entertainment sounds like a lot of fun.

We are patiently awaiting things to reopen in TV so that we can check it all out. We know that good things take time and eventually things will get back to normal.
For now, forget about the squares, there is no live entertainment anywhere. Dancing, going to classes, and normal rec center activities are severely restricted or non-existent. Even shopping is dicey. You cannot use the dressing rooms to try on clothing and the hours in many of the stores are more restricted. The number of cases continues to go up so it may be better where you are right now.
