squares
 

you are going to need a ticket to go and see the bands on the squares, wow. and bring your chair to. but only 50 or 60 people in line at a time to get a drink.

Lot of folks still passing away from Covid-19.

how did you learn this? & just curious

sorry, disregard, pls...just saw other thread:bigbow:

If one wants to be in the square.
Four streets, sidewalks and shops line the square where the entertainment can be heard and even watched (in many places).
I choose the more flexible area outside the squares.

There will not be any HAPPY HOUR just BYOB.

Seems like they thought this thru

Now that Ronnie D followed all the guidelines exactly and opened everything up 100% as of today won't that make this "partial reopening" invalid and allow everyone to hug and kiss and dance and drink and share spit legally ? WooHoo!

There ya go! The only way to fly!

Which is not allowed.

Neither are white crosses people still do it.

We all know how they are the sharpest about actually enforcing their rules.

thin the herd

I thought they were still serving...just not happy hour prices?

:coolsmiley: No one worries about getting it correct..... just bash. That's the important part! :rolleyes:

No happy hour does not equal BYOB.

My understanding is that the drink shacks will still be open, just no happy hour...I assume to reduce crowding.

Who would stop you from bringing a couple of cups filled with wine. Its been done for years.

:shrug: Maybe the guy checking your ticket at the one way in????:oops:

Could well be but not sure that they would care if folks bring in their own adult beverage.

Did you all see my post about training of the bright tee shirt personnel ? Pay minimum wage (or less and give discounts to golf) and watch what happens. We will be undated with expert sniffers that can identify alcohol in your water bottle. Reminds me of an old time joke - that smells like p-ss. Ah but by who?

That is wrong. From the online news, "When the town squares reopen, there will be no happy hour, at least not initially. Drinks will be available at the bar huts at the squares, but lines will be discouraged."

What's going to happen at around 8PM when the bands go on their last break and the place becomes 80% empty (I know because that has been when we go to LSL for the last 3 years because the place empties out)? Or what about all those who manage to get dozens of tickets for F&F and never show up? In any case, Unless they hire cops to keep guard those "Villages guards" generally disappear as soon as they feel some kind of dispute brewing. In the past on a "popular" band night when it is very crowded they would force everyone to (properly) leave aisles chair free but as soon as a bunch of folks put their chairs in the aisle the "guards" are never to be seen again (or are gathered together talking near the outside sidewalk). They don't get paid enough to toss people out who don't have a ticket or don't pay attention to them and get into a dispute with some drunk dancer. I can't see how they can even close off the squares and only have one entrance. The squares are wide opened, especially LSL. LOL, Are they going to rent Jersey Barriers or part big trucks at the open areas? I see this becoming a big fiasco and I'd bet after the first couple nights they will either make it open to all (Gov Ronny D says go for it!) or just shut it down if they can't keep control. And of course the sidewalks will be packed with non-ticket holders. So why bother? Just open it up.

I hear you. As I said before and will say again really hope they figured this all out.

Did FL just go to phase 3, so will the rules change

Not that many. We can’t stay locked in anymore. This world needs to get back working. They longer you stay away from people the weaker your immune system gets. When I started working from home 5 yrs ago, I was catching colds more often. I ask my doctor and he said when you are not around people your immune system weakens. I do medical billing for hospitals you can’t believe the numbers that are reported.

Maybe no one. Just kind of classless when there kiosks for drinks and an announcement that says it's prohibited.

This may be a good way in the future to keep the squares from becoming overcrowded with nonresident from the apartments that are being built outside of The Villages.

While they are figuring this all out, I'll just keep visiting Edna's and Fenny who have been providing us live entertainment all summer.

Correct. Thats what it said. No BOGO prices

Squares
 

Park your cart and sit and listen.

Squares. (Villages guards)
 

What are the Villages guards, I have an idea but just want it said or in this case printers?

Squares
 

Glad to see squares are opening backup with entertainment. There are people in squares nightly doing line dance and I guess bring own music. Think safe distance and be kind. I don’t understand how white crosses had anything to do with squares opening ? Enjoy life stop complaining.

Good point. Let us deal with the amount of risk we want to take.

Well since this came out the governor has gone into phase 3 so I’m guessing this is going to change the amount of people can be at the Square. There should not be a limit. It’s a personal choice! Those that are still paranoid do not need to attend!

The drink shacks will be open just no happy hour pricing so it doesn't jam up at 6 oclock

Have you ever even bothered to do the simple math? As of Friday, Sept. 25th:

13,915 deaths ÷ 695,887 cases = 0.01999 X 100 = 1.999% of cases have resulted in death, or put another way, 98% of everyone who had the virus survived it.

695,887 cases ÷ 21,000,000 Florida residents = 0.033 X 100 = 3.3% of Florida residents got the virus.

So, 3.3% of Florida residents got the virus and of those, 98% did not die.

Too many folks in TV community seem to think that every other person they encounter out in public has this thing and it simply isn't true.

What's the difference between a recession and a depression ? A recession is when the neighbor gets laid off. A depression is when I get laid off.

Always enjoy walking around the square and watching people in the center.

Since we are 100% open why would they need to do the ticket thing? No need now restrictions are over.
