I remember a big thunderstorm a while back. My wife and I were driving somewhere after the storm and she commented about all of the dead fronds along the side of the road. I told her, not to worry, they'd be gone in a day or so...

The very next day we were on the same road. Not a single dead frond to be found...
When we first arrived in The Villages, we realized that if there were a piece of debris on Morse Blvd or Buena Vista Blvd. as we drove past; on our way home a couple hours later, that debris would be gone. The crews were that quick in keeping this place pristine. Today, they are not quite as fast as this community grows but it is still maintained beautifully.
