Have you been there in June or September?
Why are these businesses not amply supported by the full time residents? A previous post made the case for more stores and restaurants to handle the presumed growth and "overcrowding" in The Villages and in this thread we seem to be suggesting a lack of support from full time residents who ironically complain about the "crowds", without which, most agree, we would have fewer not more, restaurants? If some of the small percentage of full time residents who complain about the "overcrowding" would rally the full time residents support of these businesses during the Low Season" then perhaps that would solve a part of the puzzle?
