Default Great YouTube Channel re: The Villages

If you like fun and informative info about The Villages, check out “Skip Smith” on YouTube. His videos are fun to watch and he keeps you abreast of happenings on a regular basis. Good, clean fun!

Hope to see you flying around!

Here's a video I shot a couple of years ago with my dashcam on Buena Vista northbound. You can actually see firsthand people not knowing how to navigate a traffic circle.

My wife and I love Skip's videos. And we like his presentations. Seems like the kind of guy I could sit down and have a beer with.

I’ve been watching Skip’s videos since my first trip to the villages this spring. Very informative. We have closing on a house in Fenney next week. I had almost changed my mind about moving south after the storms they had this summer. Watching his videos the morning after the hurricane him riding the golf cart showing how things are designed to flood the golf course and keep the water away from the homes changed my mind.

I watched half dozen of these videos. Nice and substantial effort involved. Great for people not familiar with The Villages as a starter. A word of caution many inaccuracies presented which the author himself does acknowledge that a fair degree of "winging it" being presented.

You can have a Youtube channel without subscribers. My grand kids even have their own.
