OP, since I was raised in Illinois and retired from there, I tell folks I’m originally from Illinois and now retired in The Villages , FL which is about 45 miles northwest of Orlando. Everyone has heard of Orlando, Florida. Conversations go from there and usually very positive remarks if they are 50-55 or older thinking ahead to retirement.
Do I think some Villagers are taken advantage of by locals? Sure sometimes. But this can happen anywhere to seniors as they age. There are just more of us in The Villages.
