Just saying.

I am entirely with Gracie on the home town loyalty here.

Imagine what this place would be like if the inmates were running the asylum.

I think that I will love living at TV as I had such a good time during my 22 days there. Can't wait to return. However, I think that people should not be mean with any posts that they do not like seeing for tired of seeing. I think the Morse family has done a good job for TV. But, we can keep an open mind for every thing.

From a new kid on the block, Sorry, if you are mad at me lol

#1. As a new kid on the block you will probably be told you do not a right to say anything ... well we were all new once and we all have a right to our opinions.

#2. Do not apologize, you may upset people around here, but so be it.

#3. Welcome to TOTV - new blood is always welcome.

They should be encouraged to ask questions about the history of TV and to discuss their thinking about things in TV. In time and we should give them time, they will become better citizens of TV. So, to the posters who are probably tired of these same questions and topics I say, give people a break or just take a break.
Now, there is a real voice of reason. This is nobody's personal forum, it is meant for all. If you don't like answering the same questions...then just don't say anything. Your life and everyone else's becomes much less stressful and pleasant.

I am suspicious of a post where a poster starts off by using an article from the Orlando Senital about The Villages. There is rarely anything good written about The Villages or the developers in this paper.

I support helping new residents or participants in the forum learn more about The Villages. However in this case, the OP shows a join date of 2010. If they hadn't heard of the lawsuit and its results, I would question where they have been for the last seven years. My BS meter is going off the charts on this original post....

You guys had patience with me and I turned it around. Almost!

We are amazed at the constant upkeep and refurbishing of this that or the other thing all the time. You should see the effort that is being put into the Bocci Court area near the Paradise Recreation Building. The Silver Lake Pool is beautiful, just completed. We don't get overlooked in the Historic Section that I know of at all. We a very pleased and also easy to please.

Just an observation on amenities and such from being in TV approximately 10 years. The further south you go in TV you see more recreational facilities and the wider multi-modal trails put in from day one with many many golf courses and four lane main roads which tells us that the current TV evolved over a period of years. I believe Gary Morse saw that too. Who knows, perhaps that was why he agreed to the 40 million dollar settlement. Many areas north of 466 have improvements to their multi-modal paths and other facilities because of the settlement. In short, TV went from a manufacture home community with two executive courses and a 18 hole golf course and a couple of recreational centers to what it is now. Just an observation.......
