Just finished watching the replay of the "State of the Villages" presentation. Although there were no big announcements it was still interesting to see and hear the Morse kids (Mark, Jennifer, and Tracy) talk about the past, present and future. The most interesting part was a 10 minute film that showed a bit of the family history with their original 'resort' development on a Lake in Michigan and the eventual move to FL and growth of The Villages.
Many of us who have been here less than 5 years can be guilty of thinking what we have today is how it's always been. My, how wrong that is. LSL has only been open since late 2004 (after a 2 year building effort) and Spanish Springs was begun in 1993 and didn't finish until 2002 (dates are approx). The design and planning just keep getting better and better.
Take an hour out of your weekend and watch the replay on VNN. Every 3 hrs ... 12, 3, 6, 9 etc.
