One fact of life in TV that many do not think about....the slow season population of 2015 is bigger the the busy season population of 5+ years ago. So the businesses that were here then and making it are doing just fineyear around!!!

The arrival of snowbirds directly correlates with the fall arrival of the love-bugs. The departure of snowbirds directly correlates with the spring arrival of love-bugs.

AND people wearing open collar button downs, little black dresses and heels out to dinner. Instead of the universal villages uniform of golf shirts and shorts.

Plus yesterday someone stopped dead, right in the middle of a roundabout.

Probably not a snowbird, but maybe a notfromtheseparts.

Agreed. I have witnessed many many fill time residents who believe it is their right to take three swipes to get out of a trap and then walk away without raking like they are avoiding the plague.

Actually, we prefer "Winter Floridians" out of respect for our contributions to your economy. Some of us graduates even prefer Winter Gators ... Indy Gator

People never stopping at STOP signs, either in cars or golf carts...
Oh wait... that happens even when the seasonals aren't here !!

FOLKS... please be considerate... STOP means STOP.. it's not a suggestion, it's the LAW.

Was it street Legal? Many of us put old license plates on our Golf Cars to show where we are from, and we live here year round.
