Things have gone bad for almost everybody in the U.S. financially. I don't think anyone got through the last few years without losing money. I think smaller developments are surely at risk. I don't worry about us so much, because we continue to grow, and hopefully our population is largely people who are careful with their money.

I personally do not like Lauren Ritchie's style of writing. At one time she was asked if she had ever been to The Villages and I think she said "No". Can anyone remember that and help me here? She had written quite a bit about us but never visited, as I remember it.

I am not crazy about The Orlando Sentinel. Period.

Just my opinion. I may be wrong. I am not a heavyweight English Major.
