We never heard of The Villages but saw the cart bridge on 441 as we drove from a terrific motel in Ocala to look at houses around Wekiva Springs.
The second day of looking, we turned into TV and followed the gate guard's instruction to "Drive to 466, then about 2 miles more" to the Sales Office.
The rest was a matter of looking for just the right house, a Designer model, and getting the price right.
Back here in Illinois it seems almost all of our friends knew about TV and many had acquaintances living in TV. But we had never heard of it before that chance visit.
We still think of the smiling golf cart drivers as something out of "The Stepford Wives".
