They seemed disgruntled when I was not thrown out. My husband is the one who fell in love with TV. I've yet to figure out why.
There are lots of things to do in TV Land for BOTH men and women. There are clubs for every type of interest. There are sports of ALL kinds. There are all types of group exercises available. One bad experience at a pool is the outlier not the normal experience at TV Land activities. Some pools DO have problems with non-residents using them and other TV Land facilities also. TV Landers need to carry their ID cards with them. I have often wished that I would be asked more often to prove that I live here. Pools can be particularly attractive to non-residents.
