So what do you all think about the possibility of a lagoon/beach coming to the villages? Have you heard any rumors or news? Do you like the idea? Any other thoughts on the subject?

That’s how Internet forums work. Someone posts a topic and sometimes it’s a specific question and other times it’s an open ended discussion, such as my post.

I really like that ! Open ended questions and civil written discussion, minus the emotionally laden language, name calling, overt and covert insults to others intellectual ability, education, and all the rest of it. Wonderful, I love that structure where you actually learn how others think and from what experiences they come. Hope it becomes the standard on here, and that it lasts ! So here goes:

What do I think ? So few details but from the very few described here I'd say it would be a positive addition and I would probably take advantage of it. Would it cut down on the number of trips per month I make to the Gulf, or a bit further over to Daytona or Ormand.... hummm... yes, probably. Not quite like the peace and relaxation of the ocean, but I think it would be a really nice addition to our county for everyone's enjoyment, or to the Villages as a resident's only amenity ! Now, to take this way off topic, as these discussions seem to go (just like real conversations take many turns as they continue), I would "trade" a lagoon type swimming opportunity for a big, beautiful, shiny bright line station, with FREE parking, right in the middle of the Villages at last connecting us to airports, cruise terminals, and major cities ! ! I'd vote for that !
"overt and covert insults to others intellectual ability, education"

Yeah, what's the point of that? There are some "amazingly" helpful folks on this forum - some of them apparently "tinkerers". Hope I've learned from those sorts. They sure seem to help make the world a better place. . .
