Default We had a pool

We had a pool. You paid to use the fitness center and the pool.
Harold planned for many of these fitness centers with pools. You will find indoor pools in every gated community around here.
Many cannot take the full sun and in the winter there are many days the air is too cold to use the pools.
For many elderly, that indoor pool was the only exercise they got all winter.
A reason some moved.
One more example of the good old days for us who have lived here for 7 or more years.
I know this will bring on the posts about how everything is perfect in the Villages. Well I have lived here long enough to tell you, both my wife and I used that pool. Many people were very upset when it was taken away.
I like it here too but we should have an indoor pool. Go see how many people wrote that in " the what I hate about the Villages' thread.

Back to thread. Not one crime or robbery was ever prevented or solved by those gates. Yes, we have crime in the Villages. Our best friends and others have been robbed. Not often reported. But on the whole we are safe here .
I do agree the gates are good for slowing down traffic. I also agree many people hit the gates.
