I know what the absolute number one activity on TOTV is, moaning, groaning, complaining and whining. Jesus Christ could come back to earth and make people 25 years old again and there would be some that would complain that they wanted to be 20 instead of 25 and why didn't Christ come back 20 years ago before they got so old and worn.

Economics. The pandemic has hit commercial real estate hard. Rents are down and may stay that way. The Developer is adapting to the market and responding to a greater need for housing, via apartments. In time, economics will shift back to retail again. But maybe smaller and less. Dining may take 2-3 years to come back. If there is a change in The Presidency in November, I am holding on to my cash and I will be taking trips rather than blowing $200 a week in local eateries.

To Classic 55, you need to get your facts before you make a statement. We have been successful in the two bowling centers since 2006 when we purchased the businesses from The Villages. We have been in the bowling and restaurant business for over 50 years and are always amazed at how rumors are started and are repeated to the the point that people believe are true. Village Bowling ( the corporate name) which owns Spanish Springs Lanes, McCalls Tavern, Fiesta Bowl and The Pub at the Bowl is a healthy company has NO intentions of selling. We have come through the Covid-19 crisis and with are dedicated employees are already seeing the recovery of our businesses. To all of our customers and employees, let us say thank you for your past business and service and let us insure you we are here to stay.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU for posting this. People hear a rumor and then go crazy. I'm going to copy your response and create a new post so more people see it... and realize that until they see it from a reliable source, it's just an unfounded rumor!!!

And another case solved. Just takes awhile. Was worried most about McCall's. And the bowlers, of course. 🎳

Or worse (but often true), it's nothing more than an outright LIE.

What is your source that says that they are up for sale?

We have way too many posts beginning with "I heard" without mentioning who the poster heard from.

Bowling is the number one most popular activity in The Villages and there is no free bowling as there is free golf and free pool. I have a hard time believing that a bowling alley would not be successful.

The owners of the bowling centers have already come on here and proved the person passing this off as "rumor" was full of crap. As most who spread lies are.
