Maybe some of the ones saving seats and then arguing with the staff are not Villages residents. The squares are open to all. Previous threads on this subject have basically assumed that this was a resident practice.
Some of you will remember that this is exactly why Katie Belle's went private. There were so many coming in from the surrounding areas that the residents could not get in. At that time, there was one square and Katie Belle's for entertainment (other than one movie house). As I remember it, Church on the Square had services on Sunday and something else on occasion. There were fewer country clubs, as well.
As the saying goes, "Build it and they will come" (or something along those lines).
