Thank you for the responses. I have always been accused of looking "young-ish" for my age, and believe me, I do see i as a compliment. But to be constantly asked to show proof of residence over and again, and to be ostracized due to age ("there is no way he can be a Villager, he is too young"), has nothing but tarnished the "Florida's Friendliest Hometown" image. I was born and raised in Florida, this is not how we treat our own! As well, my wife is a young-ish looking 50 (we do workout and mind our diets), and she does receive more rude looks and comments than I. She is, however, more tolerant than I.
