I think they were talking about female waitresses, not older men.

It seemed to have more locals and a younger crowd in the evenings than the average restaurant/bar crowd in The Villages. The crowds didn't disappear at 8pm. They also had live music.

I hope the next business will not be one that primarily attracts retirees. Too many of them already.

probably not FMK... rehabbing Augustine's already.
