Same thing would happen at a Ravens game if you were to wear a Steelers jersey. However, at Lake Sumter Landing listening to the Dynamic Duo (who weren't very dynamic) I would expect better manners.
Golf is costing me a little more here. I use to play at about ten courses in Maryland and pay between $32 and $37, sometimes it even included lunch. Here from Oct to April to get those rates you need to pay about $700 to become a priority member or the green fees would be about $48. I have some softball mates who go off campus to play and I think next winter that is what I'll be doing. Come May 1st I can play any course but Palmer for $19 after 11am without being a member.
Actually a few other things here were more expensive. I'm paying Centurying Link about double what I paid Verizon for a phone and internet. I could go on, but for example our last electric bill here was $92, in Maryland it would of been $350, so I guess it kind of evens out.
I love it here, but I do miss the convenience I had living near Baltimore. Within a 10 minute drive I could be at about 30 different eating establishents. Here, it takes 20 minutes to just get to 466 from Tamarind Grove. Eventually when 466A get more developed it will probably be better since that is only 5 minutes away.
I did play golf all winter, where in Maryland I would of not have played from mid Dec to early March. Also I play softball every week with people my age, where in Maryland I hadn't played softball since 1981.
To watch every Ravens game I have to pay Directv $300 for NFL Sunday ticket. You get things and you lose things, it's all a trade off. I guess it a bad way to judge a place by what things cost. However, when you're on a fixed income that becomes very important.
