What has changed
 
Because there are a number of things that have changed since you moved to The Villages! What have you seen that has changed? Some are:
The closing of the dance hall and restaurant at Spanish Springs
The taking of the Buffalo's from Lake Sumter
The increase in bars
The large growth of homes
The lack of growth of police to meet the Villages expansions.
The increase in traffic including when Snow Birds return in the fall
The ability for more outside communities/condo's etc. use the Villages
What have you seen?:welcome:

One of biggest changes I have seen is the number of threads started by trolls just to get some attention and a reaction out of people.

Pedestrian paths, more green space, bigger backyards, more dog parks, larger lanais, new homes that are smart home ready...

A huge improvement in the quality of restaurants.
Better entertainment at the squares.
Building The Sharon and bringing in quality entertainment.
Additional and nicer dog parks.

More golf courses
More diverse recreation activities
Less concentration of dining
More creativity in recreation/entertainment/dining
No fear to change things not working

TV reaching a size that becomes attractive to an increasing number of national brand businesses....

The only thing that is constant is change.

Amusing history. Davey Crocket left Kentucky saying it was getting too crowded. If, I recall, from reading, no I was not there, the population of the STATE of Kentucky was like 7 million. He went to Texas. He died at the Alamo.

Being happy is a choice.

The population of Florida is exploding. Nothing is ever or ever will be perfect. People I know, one bought a short sale in Vermont, another bought 140 acres of forest in North Carolina.

My fear is if the Morris family stops it will be the inmates running this place.

Morris was a cat!
Sorry, just couldn’t pass this up.

What have you seen?:welcome:
Same as you and
Downgrading of amenities
Tacky apartments which didn’t rent well.
The number of fanboys on TOTV
Demolition of a Country club
Increasing disregard for homeowners by the family
More like a city than hometown
No more true squares
