Default Why?

Most people do NOT consider moving about the villages to attend activities they like to be a hardship. AND more importantly, all rec centers, pools, and all activities are there for all villagers. So a softball field if built south of 466A would be used by all softball players all over this town.
Thank you, Gracie! I am always stunned by those who have never been to Spanish Springs and don't want to travel north of 466. Everything (meaning all the activities I like) are moving south. Fine. However, if I need to travel, why can't others?

I think everyone needs to lighten up and know that going 5 minutes further is really no big deal, it won't get any better. When I have to travel to 466A, I simply start out earlier and enjoy the beauty that The Villages offers in every mile! Nice people smile and that makes it all the better.
