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 [B][U]really on

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?
Gracie, you are so correct that most of the world doesn't know where The Villages is. I used to live in Arlington, Texas which is midway between Dallas and Ft.Worth. Arlington is home to the Dallas Cowboys stadium and the Texas Rangers Ball Park. For years the radio and TV sports announcers always referd to them playing in Dallas. It really did peeve us folks in Arlington after we paid so much tax money to get name recognition for our city. It's not news suppression, it's lazy reporters.
