Very well stated, Bucco. I am in complete agreement with you - again! I will have to go to my weather app to see if there was a blizzard in hell. Keep up the good postings! :beer3:

We do not disagree as much as you may think.

This is my pet peeve, and have to be careful, but my pet peeve is folks who get there news from ONE source only, or who watch taking heads on one cable channel and think they are informed, when in reality they are brainwashed.

Do I wish everyone would heed that. In that "unnamed" forum, my biggest beef was folks not getting that, and then gravitating to where they would hear what they want to hear and then announcing how informed they were.

The man that sued The Villages and shut them down over a decade ago was Daniel Farnsworth of Oxford. He lives out on 466 almost to I75, if he's still alive.

Got that right!

Thanks for the update. One question....did they install the gate?

The wall came tumbling down!

Take a look. Josie Chabert and her dog Chickie is the first cart through the passage after the wall was removed. She lives on Heathrow on the Historic Side.

America’s Friendliest City Just Became Unfriendly to its Neighbors! In a recent newspaper article regarding the “Berlin Wall” VHA President Gottschalk was quoted as saying “nonresidents had unfettered access, allowing them to travel in and out of our community and utilize our facilities paid for and maintained by Village residents.” I want to know what facilities he is talking about. I am unaware of any. If he is talking about the entertainment in the squares, nonresidents do help pay for those venues by spending their money in the Villages at restaurants, and other businesses. That can be the only thing he’s talking about. Walling off your neighbors will not stop your neighbors from visiting the Villages. It will only stop them from using their golf car to access the squares and the businesses. They can still use their automobiles to travel on public roads built with taxpayer dollars and adding to more congestion within the Villages. What a tradeoff is that? However, it could stop nonresidents from spending their money in the Villages and hurting all the businesses that need all the help they can get. Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.
