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.

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.

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!
