I don't say much about it unless people ask. Then my 60-word explanation is:

The Villages has nine 27-hole championship golf clubs, 29 executive course, 70 restaurants, free live music and dancing at two town squares seven nights a week, two movie theaters, bowling alleys, live theater performances, a community college, golf cart access everywhere inside The Villages, community swimming pools, and tons of recreation centers featuring every art and craft and sport imaginable.

The reaction I get: Wow, when can I come visit! Several of our friends have visited us when we have been able to get down. Atlanta is not that far.

Even with that description though, when friends and family have visited, they have still been awed by the beauty, size, scope, town squares, country clubs, rec. centers and number and variety of golf carts. It really can't be described. It's something you have to see for yourself.

I am sometimes asked about the std issue. I wink and say, "Yeah, and the residents are old enough to know better! But, I'm not worried. I keep my zipper up."
