Harold lived on the corner of Aloha Way and Tarrson Blvd until his death in 2003. The home is still there. I drive by it all the time. Next to it is Schwartz Park.

I know people over here that knew Harold Schwartz. They all have nothing but good things to say about him. He would walk around his neighborhood and say hi and shake hands with everyone. He'd invite people into his house for ice tea and lemonade.

The historic district is where The Villages began. Everything else is an addition. In fact the first town square sits behind the Circle K on LaGrande Ave opposite the post office. That is where the first nightly live entertainment was held. I believe that all of the retail establishments are now gone. Cal's Barber Shop was the last one. The Mexican restaurant is still there, but the rest of the building are medical offices or soon to be medical offices.
