Like what ??? All of the improvements on the original side were paid out of a settlement that is administered by the AAC.

When Katie Belles opened many years ago, it was not for residents only. That didn't happen until several years later. I remember when we used to go upstairs and shoot pool & play shuffleboard. I don't remember much hoopla when they took out the pool table and shuffleboard table. Katie Belles / Cattle Baron has been through about 10 transformations. Some worked, some didn't. Back to the drawing board. It never made money. If it were my place, personally I would get tired of losing money. I would think most people would feel that way if it was their place.

It will be closed for renovation while those of us who are full time residents would be using it more. I bet it will be reopened just before the snowbirds return and have higher prices!
I do think they will do a nice job on it and I hope they keep it affordable. What is next? McCalls?.......................................... . |

Downstairs, Katie Belles, does have a $5 minimum, even in the afternoons almost every time I have been in.

You do understand that The Villages does not own Katie Belles, right?
It is a privately owned, for profit, business. Would you be less upset if you got a monthly assessment to reimburse the owner for the losses?

If this is true, privately owned, then if they need more income, it should be opened to the public and not just to villagers....maybe that would create a new stream of income....

I ass-u-me-d it was owned or controlled by the villages. Until proven otherwise I will continue that assumption.

I think it's a shame because with a little updating it's unique. BUT, having said that, I did notice that the Cattle Baron Club was not well attended and couldn't have been profitable. Most people go there when they have guests but how many are regular diners? Even the fashion show luncheons this year were not well attended compared to previous years. I'm always encouraging people to go there after golf for dinner especially in snowbird season as you can always get in without a wait. Comments made to me about CBC when people are complaining about the long waits at other restaurants during high season have been "Never thought to go there."

So the "new" homes on the Historic Side are being paid for with found money? Of course not!! These are investments being made to older areas to keep The Villages up to date and relevant to buyers of new homes and pre-existing homes. That way, the developer gets to make more money and we keep our home values moving north!! Thank God they want to keep this place up to date!!!
