Don't believe it? Do an internet search on couple gets arrested for having sex in the square. Judge gave them time in jail.

At the time, many villagers thought six months was excessive. But, I guess that was the plan. Like I said, those shenanigans came to a screeching halt.

Every wave of retirees is different. Back then, the newly retired were teenagers during the make love, not war movement. Woodstock....You guys do not need a history lesson.
Point is, they were a very AMUSING crowd, to say the least.
There was only a small Lady Lake police department. You could get away with so much more back then. And, boy! Did they take advantage!

Outsiders remember these times or are told about them. They will never let the past die. Current daily mugshots solidfy their beliefs.

Once upon a time, I guess this really did used to be the "free state of Florida." Nudge nudge wink wink pass the dutchie on the left hand side.

It’s where the buses stop?

Yes, and that’s such a nice spot to sit and enjoy your morning coffee!

There is so much false information in this article that it could not possibly be put in there by accident. I think this Michelle Natti is leaving herself open to a well-deserved law suite

No, the buses don't go around the inner square. The fake trolley tracks are to the RIGHT of Hagen Daas, if you're facing the building from the square. Between Hagen Daas and the sales office building on the corner.

why do you care???

It’s clear that most of these folks are jealous that we get to live here and they don’t because they’re not old enough. (Imagine someone being jealous for that?) Or they’re credit isn’t good enough to get a loan.

And as far as swinging goes, people who drink a lot do stupid things, end of story.

This is an absolutely beautiful place and those that live here can have a good retirement if they want it.

How do you explain the daily mug shots of those arrested? Are they fake too? It happens! Laugh instead of denying. People do STUPID things! Some are smart enough not to get caught. Others? Not so much!

We were talking about this at the pool. One neighbor had us chuckling. "If you can't spot an entitled person in the Villages, it is probably you." They are everywhere! Acknowledge, smile, and when approached by one, run the other way.

Sound like for some the koolaid has turned sour.

I remember when the couple got arrested. Red Sauce created the drink Sex on the Square and it was selling out every night. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe there was a song titled Sex on the Square. It may be on youtube. It was quite popular. Yep! Things were quite different back then. Free state of Florida-just as you jest.

If there are really that much swinging going on I hope it’s after dark. Do you know what most us senior citizens look like naked ?

Best quote in the article;
""Everyone dislikes the Villages except the people who actually live there. Residents love it."
