If I had my druthers--
I'd rather see a segment about all the beautiful ladies ( not men) of The Villages.

And Columbus, IN as well. Sunday Morning Crew was in Columbus early in the week preparing for the segment to be seen on this morning's show. Neat, we get to see Columbus and The Villages in the same show!

Are we lucky to live here or WHAT!.....Only one thing better than the clip about our golf carts are the WONDERFUL Villagers!!!!! My only concern is that the CBS clip will have EVERYONE moving here.....giggle

We DVR'd it - just sat down a bit ago to watch the clip. Very well done by Bill Geist.

What a cute clip of The Villages! Also fun to see columbus indiana, as well because we used to live there, too. We left Columbus in 1986, but had 12 wonderful years there!
Deano--when did you move to Columbus?

Just watched the segment on the Villages. Pretty cool about all of the different types of golf carts. One thing I didn't know is there are 90 miles of paved road, about 50,000 golf carts here with about 16,000 of the golf carts not used for golfing, 100 restaurants. Interesting info!

Am a lifelong Columbus, IN resident except for school and Army years away. So I guess you could say I moved here when I was born in 1942!

Barefoot,

The link you showed got me still pictures only. Any link that shows the entire 5-min. clip?

I would love to forward it to some friends.

I only found the photo gallery on the CBS link posted above, not the video. I watched it when it was broadcast this morning (it was great), but I'd love to forward a copy to friends as well. If anyone finds a link to the video, I'd love to have it. Thanks!

The link I mentioned shows pictures, and I think the "script" to the right of the pictures. I'm still looking for the missing link of the video!

We just watched it...twice! :coolsmiley:
Our son and his friends thought it was pretty cool also.

I've not heard the term "Drat" before, but count me in. I too missed it and already have had friends and family who saw the piece this morning contact me to ask me if that is where we live...

I checked You Tube and CBS on demand and I wasn't able to find the video. Hopefully, someone will post it to You Tube or someone here on TOTV will find and post the video. Given the publicity, I'm surprised it's not (yet) on thevillages.com web site ( yes, I checked ).

Keeping my fingers crossed in Buttonwood...

Two friends in two different carts from "my hood" in Mallory were in the video. They represented beautifully as did everyone else!

CBS Sunday Morning ran this feature again this AM.

One good thing about repeats!

As a wannabe it was nice to see again.

Recorded show back in May. When my husband and I need a Villages "fix" we watch it! When anyone new comes into our house, we make (I mean let) them watch it. Brings a smile to their faces!:D:D:D
