Default As scene in The Villages

Sometimes it's the little touches that makes life interesting.

The Villages Florida

Don't we now live in a "close enough is good enough" world!

These gate arms seem to get hit rather frequently by vehicles. I understand that there is a $300 charge if you hit one??

Because the gates are broken so frequently, I think that TV has just started recycling the broken gates. Upside down might be the only way that the gate would fit in its new location. Other than it being funny, why would it bother you?

Perhaps, just perhaps it's a special gate made specifically for the round-a-bout challenged!
