If you knew the guy was drunk,etc., will you sleep better at night?
Now folks want another paper, wasn't that tried by the Ocala paper? Or a section on TOTV just for news, sounds like a rumor starter.
So much chatter over nothing!

As someone who commutes on a bicycle on the streets of The Villages I definitely would sleep better (or maybe worse) knowing more details of this accident. I suggest that those who wonder what all the fuss is about go down Buena Vista and look at the extent of the damages. I think the other issue here is what we readers have come to expect from our community newspaper based on our experiences BEFORE moving to The Villages. I am certain that had I taken out a road gate barrier, continued a few hundred feet, taken out a directional sign, large shrubs, and then traveled completely through a concrete block building in Danville, Pa., the Danville News or Bloomsburg Press Enterprise would have had a a photo of the damages as well as info about the driver and suspect cause of the accident. Thus, when something like this happens here in The Villages, I understand why people ask... "why wasn't it in the paper".
