When was the last time you saw the Morse family NOT trumpet some change to The Villages infrastructure? Their total silence and the refusal of Lester's office to even respond to this doesn't pass the smell test.

Years ago, the Morses wanted to make that cart passage a thru STREET, and we went up in arms about it, and so the cart path was modified, including the island (it used to have a gate pass system). The path only helps The Villages by bringing traffic into it at the Square, and by providing convenience to the medical building, doctors' offices, Urgent Care and other shopping areas NOT in competition with Villages businesses.

So what's left besides cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Hopefully the Morses will see the folly of their pettiness, and the loss of profit, and quietly and quickly reverse this horrible mis-calculation of public sentiment and restore good-will.

The Morses have built up too much good-will in our community by providing such a great place to live. Please don't make the memory of our dear Harold turn over in his grave over a petty argument!

Welcome to Talk of the Villages. I am sorry that we are meeting under these circumstances but what a pleasure it is to read your wise and well thought out words. I hope you stick around. I have a feeling we can learn a lot from you.
