Glenview is situated in a very affluent part of TV, it is not unusual to see diners arriving in jackets and ties and ladies in dressy dresses. I have watched the blonde hostess take the arm of regulars who need assistance and help them to their seats.

I cannot think of a time when I was at Glenview when it was not busy with people waiting to be seated. We have been there for lunch, dinner, to drink in the lounge and for special occasion meals and can honestly say we have always been treated with courtesy. We have very often met friends in the lobby area and have been asked to wait for our party to arrive before being seated; for whatever reason, this is their policy and it has never bothered us.

On the other hand, we dropped in to Beefs on 466 recently and took a booth. In the middle of the floor there was a "team" of ladies celebrating a win of some sort. Their language and the noise they were making was excessive and the manager asked them to leave, whereupon they set about all the people sitting around them, cursing us out and screaming and throwing money on the floor. The little girl clearing the table apologized to everyone and had to fumble on the ground to pick up the coins they had thrown under the table .................

How about the poor souls that don't live in the affluent Glenview part of The Villages. What makes it affluent over other villages?? We are all proud of our villages.................but to say we are very affluent, come on!
