I just thought I would save you the trouble. :thumbup:

You won't hear that from me. Loud drunks, male or female, can be obnoxious. They really have no idea that they are causing others distress, spoiling their enjoyment . I have nothing against liquor, but am really uncomfortable around anyone who has no idea that they are rip snorting drunk.

On Wednesday I went to see a great new band called "N-Tunes". After I was there a while, a group of women came and sat nearby. It seems they had been drinking and were really LOUD talkers. Then they would get up to dance and would sometimes stand in front of me while talking to their friends in a loud voice. On the dance floor they started loud conversations as if the band wasn't there. I think they overpowered the music at times.

One of them was trying to convince a man to follow her out to her car. He didn't seem too willing until she said, "I have a beer for you in the car."

Before the band starts playing there's an anouncement from WVLG that says, "No coolers allowed." People must have started bringing their own drinks in a cooler. So now it seems that some of them are drinking in their cars.

We're not fond of loud obnoxious folks either......sad that your evening was ruined. Thanks for posting that. It took courage.

Maybe THE VILLAGES is indeed getting too big......for comfort.
It must have been really nice when it was new and a smaller population.

We've been looking in a town with a population of 2,900 souls.....on a barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean beaches, a real fishing pier and very beautiful large homes , larger acreage.........not really second guessing ourselves, but weighing all the pros and cons before making the big move next spring or summer..........

Crowds and noise are not our cup of tea.....so thanks again for your post.

The OP was was an informative post. However, the first sentence is the most important. I believe the same is true for many of the topics (a.k.a. annoyances) we discuss on TOTV.

Um, something like that will cost in the millions, at least down in Palm Beach County. Where are you looking?
