Most nights are that way now. I believe it has reached the point where it is a big negative that folks see on lifestyle visits. Gridlock is now very much a part of TV life.

Too Big!!
IHMO The Villages is getting "too big!" Loosing it's mystic and charm. Roads are like driving in I75, just try to drive the speed limits within TV...You may get run over..! Great number of folks have no clue about driver etiquette either while driver a car or golf cart! And no such thing as a "fast lane!" in TV. Both lanes are the same speed limit. I really have my doubts about the building going on across 466a. Once that is done, TV, will be a good size city. In fact, if you havn't notice, TV is butting up right against the city of Wildwood. What's going to happen there??

We moved to the Villages in 2000. We knew then how big the Villages was going to get. I agree it can be a challenge around here when the snowbirds & renters are here, but we need them. The businesses, restaurants & employees need this high season to make money. The positive is they all leave by May 1st. & we have the place to ourselves.

We bought in TV in 1996 and watched the growth in awe and have seen many wonderful improvements. However, many of the same problems that exist today were around in the late 1990's; crowded facilities in the Winter, fast carts, impared drivers (car and cart), an occasional grouch, inconsiderate dog walkers, etc, etc. (although we only had one roundabout to contend with) But, it was spread over only 14,000 - 20,000 people and no TOTV to talk daily about it. My Granny (lived heathfully until 99 3/4) used to say "I always read the obituaries first thing in the morning, and knew if I didn't see my name it was going to be a wonderful day!" When I fully retire I'll take up the same philosophy, but will be able to happily change it to "a wonderful day in The Villages".

Positive is as Positive Does!
My remarks were My remarks and My remarks and thoughts only! They were not meant to be negative in any way. Just my observation(s)! Not one remark was said about being unhappy or not wanting to live here..!!! Just IMHO TV is getting Too Big!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I think! I agree it is a fabulous setting and place to live...!! The remark about a fast lane was apparently taken wrong. I was saying that the speed limit in TV is the same no matter which lane you're driving in but that does not seem to apply to a great number of folks here. I agree, we all need to slow down and take in all that TV has to offer! If any of you like the hustle and bustle of the big city, then it looks like that is what we're getting. Myself, I prefer at this point in my life to take things slow, enjoy my surroundings, enjoy each day as it is given and not go through TV as though someone set my pants on fire!! Illness, I can tell you about illness! I am a retired USAF MSgt, Vietnam Vet, 100% Disabled due to a dosing of Agent Orange by our forces during that conflict! So you see, I don't get along and around quite as quick as I use too. Wishing all a great day!!

Mickedamouse, nice post and I think your previous remarks will be forgotten as fast as most people forget who won the last world series. My post however is not to comment on your remarks, but to simply thank you for your service to us and your country! We should never forget to thank people who have served!
