Allow me to try to change your mind. The Villages was built from North to South and generally speaking there is an older population living North. They have NO idea how they got older and not quite as active as they were and not willing to go out for dinner and other activities as much as they once did. In order to survive financially and at all, places that charge money must have patrons. When they do not have enough customers to stay afloat they close. NO MATTER or not that I am sure The Villages Inc. would like for them to continue and prosper. They rent them their space....AND please do not give us the old saw that they charge too much rent. No one forced the business to rent there and they knew the price and terms of their contract. Times change. People age. Quality changes and interest in activities.
