So why couldn't the nightly entertainment on the squares be part of that attraction along with golf and restaurants and shopping?

The city of Wilmington NC bills itself as a historic district that brings in tourists that end up buying homes there either as 2nd homes or future retirement homes. The idea is bring them in and they'll love the community and buy and add to the tax base.

Hate to say it, but The Villages is a tourist attraction and could easily be promoted as such to a specific segment of society. Disney is for families/TV for retirees. Don't get the problem?
we have been coming here for 12 years. Without TV and the squares, we would have never come here. Would you?
