there should be more places like this rec center ,,,yes the morris family is greedy,,,the facilties south of 466a - are lacking in numbers compared to the homes in the area,, yes this ONE rec center is very nice ,,, lets have more! gary morris u have made billions off of us time for an indoor pool,,, and some more rec centers like this one

It is a gorgeous center, well thought out and a lot of love was put into this. My only complaint was that I would have loved either plaques or a brochure explaining the exhibits a little better. I know my Army patches and medals but can barely tell a jumbo jet from a Piper Cub and don't know that much more about ships, so would have loved to know what planes were what and flew where/when and ditto the ships. There were a lot of memories there for me, so I can only imagine how those who truly served felt seeing all of this memorabilia.

Would it be possible for the background information to be put into a brochure? Sure would be helpful to those of us without much of a military background.

This is a very good idea. Why not share it with the rec center Director?? They can probably deal with complaints better than readers of TOTV.

I do not consider the Morse family GREEDY at all. They are astute business people who take pride in everything they create! Without them we would not have all the wonderful amenities that we do at I may add extremely low monthly fees. Want an indoor pool, move to Stonecrest and stop complaining! It bothers me when people are so jealous of the Morse's wealth that they need to label them as GREEDY.
I appreciate the foresight Morse has had in creating The Villages and how the entire family works together to bring us a DREAM!!!

How beautiful
 

Went to see the Eisenhower rec center yesterday and I was so impressed. It is really beautiful. I felt like I was touring a museum. We are so lucky to have so many unique rec centers to enjoy. I have yet to tour many of them. Maybe that will be a priority since the Christmas trees are up. Do yourself a favor and set aside some time to tour this center. It's not a quick tour....

Envy is not a good thing!!:throwtomatoes:

:agree:

I would like to suggest the next rec center be named FDR. I think there would be a lot of memorabilia from this great man. The only President to get elected four times. He served during the two greatest times of the 20th century with the depression and WWII.

This is not a political statement, as I admire the man. He gave his life for our country, as he knew, that his health would not let him survive the fourth term and picked "Give Him Hell", Harry Truman.

:agree:
