I'm from Upstate New York where, if you take away the five months of winter, it's a beautiful green place. I always thought Florida paled in comparison, except for the sunshine, the beaches and the theme parks. Then I drove into The Villages in 2008 and it was like the lights went on or something; hard to explain. Gracie said it best in a recent post, and I can't improve on it: When you come into TV, "It is just like when the color came on in the Wizard of Oz."
