They embarked on a smear campaign in all of the media that they control by Monopoly: the newspaper, the magazine, the radio, the cable station, and even the ads at our movie theater. All off the news that they do or don't want you to know.
They tried very hard to smear the people that have been producing a very nice phone book for us for years now. I suggest you spread the word to support the original phone book, which will be the one that does not have the villages logo. We need some competition in our media here.

WHAT IN THE WORLD are you talking about?
I like The Villages phone book that has the names of all of us and where we came from.
I like the pictures on the front, I like the emergency numbers, all the pertinent stuff.
I am for free enterprise and big companies being successful and doing the job right and providing jobs for folks. I like that the Morse family provides us the Movie theatre and the magazine and the radio station. I like both of the restaurants that are owned by The Villages; The Lighthouse and Cane Garden, their restaurants are run well. So far The developer gets an A+ from us G's and most everyone we know.
The whole state of Florida is teeming with homes for sale. There are lovely retirement areas in Arizona and on the coasts.
I personally think that this is the best. Hooray for the developer and his phone book.
No one does it better!
P.S.I have found that the techy stuff, computer stuff, they are still not in the forefront on that...but hey..so far so wonderful!
