Tucson ;"The same thing happened when the major tornado hit the Villages in 2007 and demolished many homes here. The major news channels mentioned Lady Lake and concentrated on the news story there, omitted The Villages from the story.... also heard Katie Couric who was working for NBC then, wasn't allowed to do come here to film & do a story" Unquote

How is gonna stop the press? The streets belong to the public.


I think the real reason is that STILL a lot of people don't know where we ARE. Read national news on this sinkhole that says we are a suburb of Orlando. THEY WISH. We are now more populous than Ocala and Palm Beach but still demographers don't know that. No one can believe the growth here in the last FIVE years. We are on the map, but we aren't really on the map.


The Morses don't need to surpress anything for fear of losing sales. Those lots not yet graded in the new area are already SOLD in the sense that people are committed to live here and waiting to buy. Someone told me that just last week they were seventh in line to buy a brand new villa.



We can handle bad publicity. Many of us love this place for no reason other than it is loveable and it is our home. We are Villages STRONG.

Bump. I quoted Bob and Bev and meant to quote Tucson. Alright. alright I am waaaaaaaaay too defensive of this place. Sorry

Senior, I live here and naturally love this place. How could you not?
