I heard he is under the bridge that will be repaired soon.

Some folks suffer from road rage. I have Villages rage. I think this is the best planned place in the universe for folks of a certain age. I never dreamed that I would be so busy and happy and find so many friends here.


It makes me want to bite when someone waltzes in and uses words like "village invasion".


I know he is just jealous. Living two miles from all the fun is hard on him.


If it weren't for super folks with a witty comeback on this forum I would blow my top. Love your wit, gentlemen and gentleladies.


My sincere wishes for every good thing for y'all in the coming week and for the rest of your stay here in lower paradise.


Hugs from Gracie.

Still don't get the point. Did anyone move to the villages thinking they could dig a hole in their backyard and have a pond? Congrats for living 2 miles outside the villages, if that's your thing. Just wondering why you want to come on here to "educate" on your first post when you don't even live here? Don't think anyone moved here planning a catfish farm in their backyard. just sayin...

How about the New York invasion? Or the Chicago invasion? Etc. etc. ad nauseum. Progress happens.

Drainage facilities are required of all new developments. As is compensation for environmental impacts.

I agree with several others regarding the OP...what is the point?

I thought Lake Sumter use to be called Fort Sumter, famous for two maritime battles during the Civil War. Probably too small, I'll look into it.

Older maps of the area label it as Cherry Lake.

Many maps dated from 1800's to 1900 didn't seem to find it significant enough to add.

I think it looks nice.
May I guess that it is a tidied up mud hole?

Don't you mean Sumpter ?

History Of Lake Sumter
 

...

I beiieve it was actually farm land and Lake Sumter was dug out.....when you travel south on Morse Blvd and see the higher elevations including golf courses....that is where all the dirt was moved to....that area used to be as flat as the rest of Fla.

I think Lake Sumter is fine just the way it is. Who cares how it was formed or who it's parents were. It maintains an acceptable level of water and is very pleasant to look at. Most certainly gives the town square that coastal look and feel.

This needs some work!

There is no Pee in Lake Sumter, but surrounding it in all directions are miles and miles of homes and golf courses and a huge and beautifully planned adult community, very well maintained and almost perfect.


What are you Captain of, Hugo? You need to join some of the anti-Morse groups that exist. Are you jealous of the fact that ordinary people worked very hard and risked their own money and success, time and time again, without government assistance and ultimately became that horrible word, RICH?


People WOULD have moved to Florida ANYWAY and bought or built in areas that abound that had no deed restrictions, no zoning and there would be well maintained homes next to poorly maintained homes.


They would have done it in the usual way and had public pools and public golf courses and they would have enjoyed them, nothing wrong with that.


Don't feel left out, you can still move here and be part of the satisfied chorus.

Wrong
 

Sorry but there are plenty of areas of Florida with rolling hills. Not everything is flat.

Frost line?
 

Come on how is that affecting basement location in a warm climate like most of Florida.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll, I do have to confess. I was parked "on the bridge" with my bride, watching the sunset, enjoying some music and a cocktail. I did not plan ahead appropriately, and well, I had to go. So, let's just say, there is Pee in Lake Sumter.
