https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxZH_WTRVNU Del Webb Sun City AZ Promo - The Beginning Part 2.wmv - YouTube By the way I loved the Villages video which I had not seen. Thank you OP! IMHO it showed the incredible vision and well thought out planning 'the developers' used to create and grow The Villages.

You are most welcome, Nucky!
These videos make some great points and warm my heart.

Quote:
In contemporary Villages history Gary Morse is portrayed as the savior of TV while Harold is portrayed as a glad handing old man strolling around the community and the square greeting visitors and residents. This makes it appear that he was still quite involved and the head of the organization in the early nineties. All of the previous history I have read barely mentions, or completely ignores, the other members of the family which were obviously intimately involved at the time of this video. The prices of the homes seem insanely reasonable for that period of time. (I bought a nice, but not extravagant home in Fargo in 1989 for $180K and a smaller home in St. Paul In 1994 for $140K.) What the hell ever happened to Uncle Bob and Aunt Connie? The victors, as they say, write the history!

That was long but fun! The changes in interior design in less than 20 years, oh my. The models seemed to be a mix of manufactured homes and stick-built, given the garages on some.
I think the public area of La Plaza Grande looks pretty much the same today. Last edited by queasy27; 12-08-2018 at 11:16 PM. |

Just a point of clarification, it is almost thirty years. The homes they were building at that time were all stick-built. I think they had only recently gone to that as opposed to manufactured when they crossed 441.

There are neighborhoods (Delmar is one of them) after they crossed 441 on the east side of Morse near Spanish Springs that have manufactured homes mingled with stick built homes. I think you still had a choice between the 2 at the time these were built.

It also said the Hacienda Hills Golf Course had just opened. That was in 1990.

Fiesta Bowling Alley is still up and running. It is close to the Villages Golf Cars in Spanish Springs. La Hacienda Hotel building is still there. I think it is now The Holiday Inn Express by Paige and Avenida Central.

They come across to me as decent Midwest folks who are busy doing their job and if they need someone else to count their money, that is fine too.
