I am so sick of hearing I live in the STD, AND orgy capital. There is a book about TV that I read prior to buying here. The book does have a page or two on the orgy underground and TV being high in STDs. But this place has grown from small town to small city. The full spectrum of society can be found here. But it is NOT the STD capital.
I’m so sick of hearing it that I no longer say I live in TV. I tell people I live just south of Ocala. If they are familiar with FL and insist on a city, I will say The Villages.
Just a month ago I was at my aunt’s birthday party in NYC, about 70 in attendance. I heard about the STD thing in TV several times and even saw people smile/smirk when they hear I bought in The Villages.
I don’t know if this will ever go away, especially with people writing books repeating the misinformation.
