The frienliness of this place has changed. All of us have seen fights, road rage, fighting over parking places, cutting in lines, etc. Ask anyone who works here how they are treated by many.
As I said many times, I live in a great neighborhood, in a beautiful house with great friends. I know there are very nice people in here but... I never got swore at until I moved here. Got the finger a few times too.
Many people are upset and/or have left or never bought. But this is the everything is wonderful forum for people who stay in their houses or don't live here full time or don't live here at all or are new. That's ok, I once thought this place was perfect too. And I still have great fun here.
OK done with the rant. Going down to seabreeze to try to fight my way onto machines at the overpriced exercise room. Laurel manor exercise room is closed.

Bottom line is I agree with cappyjon.
I agree also. I have been tailgated and cut off several times doing the legal speed limit in our car. Driver she had a handicap sticker hanging off the rear view mirror going like scatt.

I recently hired a well know landscaper and had a few simple questions was concerned over a part of the job. Drove out to his nursery for help.

That ended up with the owner screaming at me and my wife as if he was God of the Villages with his ego and infered reputation being challenged. HOW DARE we ask a question! Heaven forbid!

Yelled at by ladies in their cart for me daring to be on the multi use paths on a " GASP" Mt Bike.

Was talking to a repair tech doing warranty on our home today. Seems there are more than less who have the resources to pack up and get outta the " Friendly Town"

And yes forget the over priced crowded and under equipped gyms. I went to bike riding for aerobics and working out at home.

Cappy your Gem is Street Legal bottom line. The others were rude and wrong for that kind of agression.

I wonder how many more out there are wondering did we do the right thing moving here. Something about Koolaide? Maybe the close neighborhoods stress whatever?

I wake up ever morning hoping it gets better.
