A special breed of retired folks chose to call The Villages their home.

As for Sarasota, it has a lot going for it....the museum and such....etc., etc.

Maybe with your visitors it was just "sour grapes" because they don't live in THE VILLAGES.

We have "family members" who happen to be diehard Democrats who say something similar....."Well, it is very nice but we could not live with a bunch of Republicans". Or, "It is an adult fantasyland...but not for us."

Some think it is too neat and orderly. Can you imagine?
We thought it was perfect.

Go figure. Live and let live...........I would hope there is room for everyone's opinions and thoughts.....or pleasures in life. I'm sure there are many who do NOT choose to frequent the nightly town square entertainment....but to each his own.

We were given free tickets to the Philharmonic Orchestra , but it was the same day we had flown down from Vermont to Orlando, rented a car to drive north to TV, got lost finding the sales office in L.S.L.......got lost on the ROUNDABOUTS.....kept going back and forth over the bridge.....been taken to our rental designer home at Creekside Landing.......and just too exhausted to go.

Upon arrival, TV is quite "dizzy making."...........especially when one is up at 3 a.m. and the pilot announces he wants to de ice the plane a second time !

I'm sure the Savannah Center would have some "culture". Unless they meant by "culture" the great Cuban restaurants in Sarasota??? Again, go figure.
I love the above post. BUT that being said, this thread just had me shaking my head...or at least what the originator/post said re: their friends. Made me think years ago we had a friend say "I have LOTS of class, it's mostly lower!" Should we be insulted about this comment of NOT having "culture"??
