Another welcome to you from a TV wannabee up north who hopes to move to The Villages someday. There is quite a bit of information on TOTV about The Villages area as far as restaurants, contractors, service people, etc. You don't have to live in The Villages to patronize the merchants or restaurants in Spanish Springs or Lake Sumter Landing. There is free entertainment every night at Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing and the new square at Brownwood.
