Yes after reading all the other posts I should have kept my question to myself. You are right though. This particular area and square look prime for issues in the future. Maybe I should have just called Community Watch and let it just be filed for future references.

If this OP makes it into the local papers, I expect a bunch of young people to show up is similar "fashion" to troll those that think like the OP! You may just start something you don't want! It would be funny. I like young people being around, and it gives them a chance to hear real music too

I took whitetail look to mean their jockeys were showing about their droopy pants.

I know where our child attended high school the look was banned. Maybe it is acceptable to most, just revolting to me. It’s the gang standard in some areas of the country, just not here I guess.
Sometimes to post on this site one needs to be thick skinned. Remember, “Friendliest Home Town” is pretty much just a marketing slogan.

Yes the dress code here has pretty much gone by the wayside. I remember when no one would think of wearing a t-shirt to a “country club” restaurant. LOL

We usually leave the squares early when we go. The view there can be entertaining but we expect it to get more so as the area continues to get overbuilt.

You can't stop the way people dress. It's called living in a free country.

I feel old people dancing suggestively is inappropriate, who do I call to address this?

I feel ignorant comments on a forum are inappropriate, who do I call to address this?

I feel the smell of burning animal flesh coming from the restaurants around the square is inappropriate, who do I call to address this?
Amen!

Intuition is the name we use for for the filter that assembles the conscious and unconscious inputs for survival. Like sheep, the people that ignore it are already finished. There was something wrong besides fashion that night.

The Villages will whistle a different tune when Wildwood police are patrolling or even responding in their town square in the middle of shows. Homeowners won’t like the rapid depreciation of values in the area either.

Again, wait till the guys in blue start making regular prime time visits.

Wow. Now you want to tell people how to dress? Stay home.

With the proliferation of apartments in the area it is only going to get a lot worse!!!

The squares are, and have always been, open to the public.

You have the right to be offended by that. There are steps you can take in protest. The most obvious choice is - don't go to the squares. Boycott them. I recommend you boycott them when they're having major events like the vintage car shows, fairs and festivals. In fact, I recommend EVERYONE who has a problem with the public attending public events in public places, to boycott those public places.

That'll mean more room for normal people to enjoy a day or evening at an event.

That would be the antithesis of "Nobody goes to the squares anymore, they're too crowded"

I was more than a little shocked and entertained. I thought it was a gag for the first several minute then I realized they were serious.
You should consider yourself lucky… I've been to places where you had to pay extra for that!!!
