Well that is just where I would love to live...in the middle of the Turnpike.

The rec center will have snow cone machines enabling residents to pelt passing 18 wheelers with snow balls. The executive golf course will feature longer holes with narrow fairways and no doglegs. A unique golf cart elevator will be constructed at the Bexley bridge providing connectivity to the rest of the Southern Oaks area. Watch for further updates in the Daily Sun and Goldwingnut videos.

The ski areas are still open for spring skiing and maple syrup season is finishing up. But my wife and I are here in Florida waiting for Vermont’s mud season to be officially over.

Thanks for all the comments on my April 1st post.

According to The Villages Department of Sprawl the Coleman areas will be referred to as "Cell Blocks" as opposed to "Villages". All new homeowners are entitled to "three hots and a cot" at the Recreation Center of their choice. Lights out at 9.

Wisdom is more precious than pearl when buying a home!
Some people whom have spent a great deal of money buying at the villages didn't even take in to consideration the noise of the Turnpike when they bought there and now are complaining. What they should of done was do their due diligence before they bought at the villages.

Just returned north to our home in the Berkshires after a great winter in the Villages and am already missing swimming, golfing, and biking every day. Still got snow and lots of downed trees from the big 30 plus inches of heavy snow storm in March. Gotta do taxes, pay a pile of bills, and do major spring clean up. Mud season is in full swing and our driveway and road are trashed, ergggggg! My wife just got the attached phots of moose wandering around in our back yard looking for food after the long winter. We still got about a month before the hummingbirds get here for the season.
