Years ago,when first moved in I was doing home visits as a nurse.I was advised when I got my tags not to put any identifier on them so people wouldn't know where I lived. I was also told if asked just side step or say Ocala area. Now the moment I uttered hello the pt and family knew I was a northern transplant.I understood the advice I was offered was becaithere was tremendous anger towards The Villages growing and usurping the beautiful farm land. I thought how silly progress is economic growth. Fast forward 20 plus years..I fully understand the disappointment and anger. So I just acknowledge I am a long time northern transplant living in a very unique part of central Florida. Many people ask The Villages?Depending where i will say yes.And it is a very interesting world!
