Meanwhile, back north (the place everyone says all us haters come from) our town was organically built in 1714. The Memorial Town Hall was built in 1886 as a functional monument honoring the men who died in the Civil War. THAT is history.
The only "history" regarding the Villages is that it's testament that a couple of mail-order real estate salesman (Schwartz and his partner Tarrson) could make a fortune selling crappy property as a trailer park near a few orange groves and horse farms. That's it. That's the history.

Perhaps Spanish Springs is “family history” that the Morse family would like to keep rather than history from the civil war. I wouldn’t call the so called historical side of the villages as a crappy trailer park. Those are peoples homes. But we can agree to disagree and to each his own.
