When I asked him why he chose Del Webb, he said his wife said she was willing to live anywhere in Florida BUT the Villages. When I asked why he said she thought it was just too busy!!!!

We had a similar experence at TOP O THE WORLD. Went there in March/April last year. You'd think this would be the 'high' time. It was weird how dead it was at noon in the area of their downtown restaurants & shops.
The "crowds" during the winter are a necessary part of TV. Without the people we would not have things like Bonefish, Fresh Market, Outback, 2-Walmarts, all the Publix, Bealls, Belks, etc etc etc. And TV staff and personell do an excellent job of adjusting schedules of clubs and rec dept functions as needs change.
My biggest complaint is the traffic especially north of 466. The roads are slightly inadequate but use caution and drive defensively there should be no problem.
Com'on down and ENJOY!
