We will be moving to TV in January from Miami but we are originally from Maryland --

Hi Helen,

Welcome to The Villages. We purchased a home in the Village of Tall Trees last October. We still live in Ellicott City, MD and only visit our Villages home six weeks a year. We will be moving down full time when I retire in about five years.

You have made a wise dicession. The Villages is the best place in the world to retire.

Be sure to find out about the Maryland Club when you arrive. Great bunch of people and lots of fun.

Best wishes,
Doug and Laurel

I was born in Baltimore but raised in St. Petersburg, my dad hated the cold weather so we moved down in 1959 when I was in the 4th grade. I went on to live six years in Pensacola, really nice area, and ten years in Savannah. However, I moved back to Baltimore in 1989, so I lived the last 22 years there. We closed on a courtyard villa in Tamarind Grove on July 5th, and we're here full time.

From Havre de Grace-bought in Buttonwood in August-will see my house for the first time on Thursday.I will retire in June and see more of the villages then.

oh, so good to hear from all of you -- didn't know there was a Maryland club -- didn't see it listed -- but will certainly look for it once we are in TV

We were born and lived our first 42 years in Baltimore. Moved to New Freedom Pa in 2000. Just retired last year and working towards a move full time in The Villages. Cannot wait! Maybe we'll bring some Old Bay steamed crabs with us and have a Baltimore reunion.

My husband and I were both born and raised in Baltimore County. We moved to Harford County 36 years ago and are moving to TV in December. Since we are keeping our Ocean City Condo, we plan on spending our summers there. We are very busy these days packing and cleaning out our house in preparation for our big move. As much as I will miss Maryland Crab Cakes I can't wait to get to The Villages.

Grew up in Silver Spring and graduated from Northwood. After the Army and college, I returned to Silver Spring with my wife and lived there for the next 38 years. We moved to The Villages about 2 years ago and live in Glenbrook.

Always glad to meet Marylanders.

We HAVE to have a crab cake feast --Maryland style!

We had crab cakes today, along with cole slaw, baked beans and sliced tomatoes. All the stores here carry Phillips Crab Cakes. We found them the other day at Publix buy one get one free, so we picked up four boxes. As far as steamed crabs that's a different story. We're going over to New Smyrna Beach on Thursday to a seafood restaurant that is suppose to have them.

Most who have responded here seem to be from Baltimore area. I moved into TV yesterday from upper Montgomery County. I'm native to MI but moved to MD in 1977 and that is where I raised my family so I guess I would say it was home until yesterday. I can't wait to begin exploring TV and all it has to offer and I also did not realize there was a MD club. I hope I can find more information on it.
