Brownwood “What Up”
 

We were at Brownwood last night and ran across some 4 somewhat sketchy individuals traveling in a group. They were sporting the whitetail look that I feel is inappropriate. The pants were drooping down and underwear was showing. Is there a dress code that can be enforced? The couple that was with us said they came from the new apartment complex. Who do we call to address this?

Start with your local representatives to the US Congress. A Constitutional Amendment limiting that kind of freedom would have to start there.

I feel old people dancing suggestively is inappropriate, who do I call to address this?

I feel ignorant comments on a forum are inappropriate, who do I call to address this?

I feel the smell of burning animal flesh coming from the restaurants around the square is inappropriate, who do I call to address this?

Trolling for replies

You are asking what you can do to make other people dress in a way you approve, in a public space?
I hate to break this to you, but the answer is, in this case, "nothing". If you are deeply offended by what others wear, your only course of action is to stay home, and not expose yourself to others' taste in clothing.

You could move to a strictly gated, private community, where others with your taste in dress can establish a dress code, enforceable by limiting membership into your private club. However, the squares in TV are not private. And TV is not a gated community.

It was bound to happen
 

There is nothing that can be done about it. Brownwood is in the center of Wildwood. You are bound to run across this as a more typical thing more sooner than later. Several low cost housing developments are opening up near the square. Live with it or go to another square.

It isn’t a golf course you know. Polos are not required.

Time for an atomic wedgie!

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

The squares are open to the general public....carry if you don't feel safe.

A more pertinent question would be whether or not these were the same individuals trolling for open car doors along Neighborly Way in Lake Deaton late that night.

Ghostbusters.

There goes the neighborhood:posting:

For some at the Squares Spandex should be banned.

Just what we need, another Ken

I checked the search engine for "whitetail look" then whitetail look meme then whitetail meme then whitetail then whitetail urban dictionary - and the only reference to something that wasn't an actual whitetail deer, was about a guy who tries to goose a girl, and the girl backs away quick, leaving the guy with his hand in a weird position that looks like the horn of a whitetail deer.

So no idea what the OP is talking about there.

Wondering what these 4 people were *doing* that made them look sketchy. I mean other than outdated faux-thug-fashion from the 2000's and 2010's.

While he was checking out these sketchy fashion failures, did he happen to notice any grown-arse adult men wearing flip flops? If he did, did he notice any with nasty toenail fungus? Because I've totally witnessed THAT dereliction of civility, that left me with the desire to not buy an oversized pretzel at WOB, but spend that $10 on another drink at the tiki hut instead.

OP cannot possibly be telling the truth! These kind of people are only seen in the northern sections of the villages according to the wildwood folks! They can't possibly be hanging out in the city with the highest crime rate in a 50 mile radius!

Wow
 

So low rent areas next to a town square are an issue for some? That just goes to show you how sheltered some can be. This will just help the Developer sell in the newer more bubbled area. It’s a win-win!

Imagine, Wildwood being a criminal area. It always has been and will be all the more with the increased concentration of low income households.

An additional drink is always a better option than a pretzel (and I like pretzels)

I've always thought TV should have a self-appointed, Fashion Police Dept. They sure could keep busy, although "droopy jeans" probably wouldn't be the first thing I'd want them to focus on.

& I think "showing underwear" is a step in the right direction. I've seen a few around going Commando, who shouldn't.

Well said ! I do believe these types of questions come up so often because there is not end to (possibly??) new residents who somehow (?) get the idea that the Villages is some kind of private senior development ? And, who often seem to believe (?) that the "squares" are some how private little retail areas ? It does boggle the mind sometimes, however, do others on here sometimes get the impression that no one is really so naive as to think there are dress codes for public shopping plazas and malls ? Me thinks perhaps some just post such things to "enjoy" the "reactions" ? LOL ?

My first taste of the snow bird invasion was a tribe of middle to late 60s NY/NJ ladies at Brownwood one evening in early December. They were dressed like tramps, loud and mouthy and had on enough dimestore perfume for the biggest whore house in Texas. They were a specticle to say the least.

I was more than a little shocked and entertained. I thought it was a gag for the first several minute then I realized they were serious.

Yes, LOL, LOL, but just look at all that actually took the comment seriously ! ! ! Then the puzzling correlation between lower cost (no such thing a "low" cost) housing and walking around with your underwear showing in public ? Wonder how many people who work everyday in services that make life so pleasant and convenient for villages seniors live in lower cost housing; the waiters, clerks, those who clean houses and mow lawns, who work in fast food, at grocery stores and auto tire establishments, wash houses and clean gutters...... have not worked as long as village residents yet, so must find affordable homes, actually do walk around like described ? Think this might be a joke to see who will "bite" ?

Exactly, Call Pants Busters, get the app NOW !

1300 a month may be high living for you and your taste, but not for most.

Wait until you get a look at that skinny freakazoid guy who wears a black dress & dances in front of everyone. Sick!

Or that ONE geezer at the pool with the overly baggy bermuda shorts, who sits at the edge of the pool, legs apart.

Did no one else notice the irony of the OP' tag line is "Born to be wild"? Makes the post totally hilarious in my book?
😁😆😅🤣😂🙈🙉🙊💣

I googled the “whitetail look” as well, never heard of it! What came up were images of “deer hunting camo clothing,” for sale by various companies. So, I’m guessing the OP might be referring to camo, or camouflage style clothing.

Public place
 

It is open to the public

No shirt no shoes no service didn’t say underwear showing.

Hold up a min.

Love how quick totv long-time posters with their states proudly posted at the bottom of their posts attack the OP for voicing what ultimately can be a legit symptom of a systemic actual concern.

Setting clothing, urban dictionary, profiling aside, OP has an observation that should not be made fun of or simply ignored.

Wtf actual BUBBLE do Villagers think they live in!??

What states are new and old villagers leaving and WHY?

I am a local, 40 year Central FL transplant. I can attest to urban sprawl and once beautiful cities gone to complete crap. Pine Hills, FL. Let's see our Villages friends say they want to move there now. Hiawassee area, who is game? Ready to pack and take a night strole in the bowls of Sanford?

OP is misinformed about who controls Brownwood big deal! T V is a complete facade. The Villages Developers SELL a DREAM. Live here a while and you wake up! The town squares are not for just for Villagers and that is a good thing!

Is the T V immune from crime and degradation?? Foolish notion that it is not.

Someone said VOTE (albeit stated in a condiscending manner). Truth is CORRECT, VOTE for commissioners willing to not just sell out for the $$ (not to mention prosecutors and judges that enforce laws.)

The commissioners in the towns of Wildwood, Lady Lake, towns across FL are taking federal $$ and in exchange are agreeing to "Affordable" housing... aka urban sprawl

The concept of workers for The Villages is hog wash compared to the rate of commissioners approving the building of thousands of units of what will more than likely become low income housing but no chance of degradation to worry about there.

Is the affordable housing going to be affordable housing for more police? God bless them! We need them.

The lessor known area called T V was really blown up and put on the map around 2018 as it crossed over 44. Fast forward to the effects of poorly run northern states and mass exodus to FL (ya'll know who you are!!). Nationwide the perfect storm brewing.

Urban sprawl baby... but pull up those golf shorts and tee up players!

Wow... wake up... you think T V Bubble can't burst? How absolutely entitled and foolish are we posters on totv and people living in TV??

Interesting response. Let’s see, “a tribe”? “tramps”? “whore?” Wow! How many ways can you spell Misogynist?? Bless your heart and opinion. And to think a “senior member” after only 6 months and ready to judge snowbirds after only 2 months.

Back in 69' my hair was middle of my back, I remember getting the looks of what a heathen I was. Now it's Droopy drawers. Could be worse...My guess is they were scared to death of what they saw and won't be back.

Being in public means putting up with the obnoxious habits and behaviors of others!

There is a LOT of inappropriate behavior in the squares at night from questionable behavior, ladies looking for “company “ to over drinking. Nearby Sawgrass is not an exception. Be aware of your surroundings

Coincidentally yesterday afternoon in Brownwood I noticed a young guy walking through the crowd by himself. The way he was dressed and his "head garb" caught my eye.

the whitetail look???

Public square. Dress as you like. Enjoy the entertainment. Go shopping. Eat at a restaurant. However, let's not be naive. Four young people in "hoodies" are not there to enjoy sixties music, shop in a boutique, or eat at Prima's. The two people in "hoodies" caught on camera on Neighborly Way at 4AM going from car to car checking to see if they were open were not out for a walk. The one young person in a "hoodie" on a warm sunny day that I personally saw walking down the entire length of our quiet street had no reason to be staring at each home along the way, unless anyone thinks he was a real estate appraiser.:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Like other have reminded us, this is NOT a gated community, there are people who come from outside TV that do not have our best interests in mind, so be aware of your surroundings.

Seriously? You want a law to make them pull up their pants?? lol. We’ve all been looking at underwear for years. Parents should have taught them what a belt is used for

And because their underpants show not they’re thieves?? Kinda dramatic assessment

I'm guessing the young person I saw in Brownwood was not there for shopping or eating at Prima's. And thanks for the tip about Neighborly Way, I'll skip the open house there.

Nothing to do with underpants. Everything to do with 2 people in "hoodies" caught on camera going from car to car in a residential neighborhood checking for open door at 4 AM. Unless anyone thinks they were with community watch :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
