Default What's REALLY causing the old man to roll in his grave?

The folks bashing TVH, TV, the Morse family, etc., for being "greedy".. the things we love are also the direct result of BUSINESS DECISIONS, which MAKE MONEY, to SUPPORT all that is The Villages, and its residents. Enough already!

Katie Belle's would make Harold turn over in his grave. Closed on Sundays. No Breakfast on weekends. Closed for lunch. No country and western music. Open to the public.

I don't think anyone begrudges the Morses their money but there is a greed factor that has reared its ugly head a time or two. You can admire what has been accomplished but still bemoan the nickel and diming. Some folks are unrealistic in their expectations, though. They are under the illusion that Morses built TV for them. They don't seem to understand that this is a business venture and the human factor is not an issue when making the decisions.
