Locally I say I'm from the villages. For people outside the state, I say the villages, which is about an hour north of Orlando.

I've been here about a year and a half and I have not personally experienced any hostility from the locals when I tell them where I'm from. I think a lot of that depends on how you treat them. It's usually reciprocal.

If they ask me about swingers I tell them that was based on bogus information that was picked up by the media.
