But for those of us who came for other reasons: like entertainment, music nightly at the Squares, performances, Rec centers games, crafts, clubs - all the 1,000 things offered in Ads and which entices and prompts many to come here, have been closed for months, with no word on when they will resume.
Suddenly life in The Villages is not quite as alluring; it is more the lifestyle of little to do, that we left — certainly it is not the lifestyle we so eagerly anticipated.
Since you are healthy, active, and probably at the younger side of retired, it sounds like you need an adventure. You could buy a boat and go cruising; or get a motorhome and travel.
