They say with a wide-eyed look, "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Florida anymore......"

I think this is a perfect description of far too many residents but does point out that whether new or not that is how they still enter a traffic circle!!!

While line dancing, a newbie goes right when everybody else goes left.

You can spot a newbie when they miss the golf cart path and wind-up on a road. :22yikes:

No, they are the ones wearing shorts....and have the sides up on their golf cart on cold mornings.

Along Belvedere Blvd., near the Villages Library, I have seen small sub-compact cars driving on the golf-cart path. And I once saw a golf cart driving down the sidewalk going East on Par Drive. Boy, talk about being new in The Villages. It doesn't get any better than that. :shocked:

wide eyed wonderment! I love to sit at the square and watch them, they are just so dang cute!

So how long does it take everyone to get aclimated so you don't look lost all the time?

Well I have lived here 6 yars nd I still do mny of those newbie things, except drive my car onto a golf cart path. boy its great to be the perpetual newbie:MOJE_whot:

newbies go to the squares in the evening...and when they go there they don't save seats

they come on totv and post 'electric or gas' or 'cable/internet'

they don't yard sail to look for home accents

they don't think it is too far to drive from south of 466a to sweetbay or southern trace shopping centers/restaurants!
