I feel the need to point out that the rec centres are owned by the district, and are actually private property, not"ours". District property, district rules. Just like the exec golf courses.

I've been at Laurel Manor when a bus picked up a group to go to a baseball game. This was during the high season. Most of the day trippers parked in the far corner. There was still sufficient parking for rec center activities. The trippers were quiet, lined up and happy. It's a shame to take this away from them.



RW, I don't always agree with you, but you are absolutely right on with this one.

For MYSELF.

I don't. Do you?

I should have been more specific. I don't think it is a good idea to allow this to happen because it can open a can of worms. Establish a precedent and allow our common areas to be used for parking by people who would abuse the privilege. How about a Disney Shuttle advertising on TV for Park and ride at Colony? There must be a reason and typically we aren't being told what it is, but it isn't always for the Morses to make money.

WHY do you think large cities have bus stations? Usually a dreary place, bus stations.

I'm done with this discussion. Please continue saying how greedy The Morses are.

Mulligan, You know I don't know The Morse family and I certainly don't work for them.

But you are right. It is their bat and ball. AND usually things that they decide to do are the right decision for The Villages and us.

I took no position in my post.

I simply asked you to clarify who "we" included.

My wife and I enjoyed a nice day trip with Senior Adventures for Mothers Day. Dinner theater with the play Chorus Line. We parked at Recreation Plantation like we have for the last nine years no problem. They also pick up at the shopping center on the SW corner of 301 & Hwy 44 for the people living on the south side, again no problem.

A $40 million settlement indicates that the Morse's don't always act in the best interests of the residents. Don't get me wrong. I think this is a great place, and the Morse's did it. But I also don't view everything they do through rose colored glasses. One is being very naive to think this trespass notification to all services but the village vendor isn't money to some extent. I would not be surprised in the least to find that the villages ends up with an agreement with the other bus companies...for a piece of the action, of course.

Gracie can speak for me, too, but only when she agrees with me.

I absolutely love you Villager Joyce. And this forum.

And I didn't mean to challenge you Landlocked. You got a lotta smarts.

This has not been a good day so far. I let the sink run over because my aids weren't in.

So a new precedent was set. NOW, if you want to drive your golf cart in The Villages, you have to live in The Villages.

We really didn't need four thousand more golf carts on our trails that didn't belong to villagers.

I think they are doing the same about the tour buses. They are establishing a new precedent for some good reason other than competition. They sold off the Village transporation system and no longer run it.

Keep drinking that koolaid, gracie. You're precious. :1rotfl:

I am not sure this is totally correct. I will examine these points more closely when I have more time

So much for "I'm done with the discussion."
