Default IeS News and World Report article on TV

Access]Access Denied Denied[/url] Short but flattering, none of the negative references th are commonly referred to from Belcher's book on TV. I just wish it was a little longer. Edit to add that's U.S. And World Report. I hate auto correct

Sorry I can't get the link to work ;-(

I think the author(s) really captured the spirit of what makes up TV and it’s residents! What a great place to live at this stage in our lives.

Great article and really shows TV the way it is. Your sentence "what a great place to live at this stage of our lives" says it all. I would not have wanted to come here earlier than we did, we had a great working life in a big city and a great social life out in the burbs. But now we pinch ourselves to make sure this is real. No other place in the world like it.

I shared it on Facebook. One of the best descriptions I have seen of the Villages in a long time.

Good article, I think some of the stats are dated, but a very good well rounded article.

I also enjoyed the article. No sensationalism.

Definitely one of the best articles I've read about TV. I wonder if they tried to find any negative comments, though. Even as one living here, I kept thinking this place is too good too be true. Would have liked just a little bit of balance, like maybe a mention of the AA clubs here.

They have a lot of those as well as for family of alcoholics.

That seems to be a good thing with all the support systems here.
