People move there for the social life!! It makes me very sad that this article has been published several times in some of the large syndicated newpapers, magazines and TV/Radio segments, and The Villages has gotten a reputation that is far from the truth!!!
It all come down to the fact that you can't really explain this place to anyone else. You have to see and experience it for yourself. When your "Doubting Thomas" friends visit they'll find out for themselves the true nature of TV. With anything, it what you make of it, but it's hard not to be happy here unless you're an incurable "Gloomy Gus".
