Thanks for the insight, but it is impossible for me to wrap my mind around the fact that there are 6, count them, 6 major banks on one corner!!
Help me to understand why lonely, older people have to go to a bank to have social interaction...coffee and cookies?...in The Villages?
Let's see... there are over 2000 clubs, countless rec. centers and so many activities I can't even think of them all and some people have to go to a bank for social interaction?
And not one bank, but six...on one corner? That's a lot of coffee and cookies!
I guess that's why I titled this thread: "The death of common sense."
I think I may be losing it!!! What's next? Do I go to a bakery for a loan?
