I know this sounds odd, but we stop at the regional centers, and rec centers. Not only are they in awe of the decor, but my favorite restroom is in Seabreeze. The color and tile combination is just pretty. As I said odd place to take them to centers, but if the developer took that much time to make a bathroom look like a spa retreat, than you know the rest must be wonderful.

I would take them down to Fenney so they can see how The Villages is expanding.

My favorite is Rohan. To me, the history of TV and the aerial photos are fascinating. Also the paintings on the doors done by Villages artists.

Yup, Sumter Landing is the Place too go. Our company Always say's WoW, plus it's not that far away in a Golf cart ride from the house. That's the Fun of it All........

p.s. I call it my back yard here in TV..

Of great interest to some but certainly not all might be participating in the lengthy happy hours at well known drinking establishments on the squares.

OK, assuming there are no time constraints we start off at the Ike and then drive through Brownwood. We then go up Buena Vista all the way to 42. Most guest can't believe how big the Villages is. During that time we see the changes in architecture in the past 20 years. Then we go across El Camino and visit Spanish Springs. We cross 441 and they get to see how it all began. We travel up the the "heart of the Villages" Sumter Landing and then go south on Morse to Moyer Loop. We see all the new homes built and in progress. We'll visit Rohan and see the Soaring Eagle Softball complex. The tour used to stop there but now Feeny is an add on it time permits. Even without the Feeny visit, folks just can't believe the size of our home town.
