I hate to admit it but I have no idea where it is. Could someone please tell me. I would love to go to the memorial service tomorrow. Thanks!

I think I need to find my map. You really think I know where WEST is, let alone 27? I only know of the one golf cart bridge and that's the one that goes over 441 and I have no clue where it starts or ends.

I'll find it. I know I will. I'll find it. I know I will. (My mantra for the evening.) So, yes, see you there.

I'll find it. .........

Okay, now that I've had some sleep, I've figured out that 441/27 is 27. roflao So, I just need to find where the silly bridge ends. That I can find. I know I can. Going to get ready now. Pray it doesn't rain. The Miata is still topless!

The Villages has a Veterans Memorial Park near Spanish Springs Square. It is across the bridge from La Hacienda Center in that park. It is not really off of 441/27. It is on the west side of the golf cart bridge that goes over 441/27 but by car it is closest to Spanish Springs Square and Paige Pl.

The Villages Daily Sun has some pictures from the Memorial Day Veterans Memorial Park tribute from yesterday.

These are in the Lifestyles section (D2). Bill Mitchell took these pictures.
