ANYONE (meaning NON VILLAGES RESIDENTS) of legal age can rent a golf cart from one of the Villages Golf Cart locations. The new "thing to do" is to go bar hopping in the Villages. My dental hygienist was telling me that for her 21st birthday a group of about 30 friends rented carts and spent the night bar hopping from square to square. They felt this was "safer" than driving!

Wall or no wall.....access to the cart paths is greater than you realize....

So you expect hundreds of trashers coming into the Villages ?? As to the trails going to Walmart, I think it safe to say that the vast majority of those using that pathare Villagers. Stone Crest residents are not going to like the inference that they are excessive trashers.

Hey I like trashy. I drink my beer from a mason jar and pick my teeth with a match book cover, and I like my Beechnut.

There are no legal paths between Stonecrest and the Villages. The land owner has graciously allowed golf carts to run across his property since I got here in 2004. So there was nothing to trash because this was nothing more then undeveloped land. Once the new ALC is completed, they have graciously put in a paved path in front of their facilities. The only unpaved section is where Stonecrest and the Villages have been trespassing across Duke energy Property. However when Duke Energy tried to close the route off there was such and uproar that they backed off. There are now negotiations between Wal-Mart and Duke Energy concerning that little stretch of illegal dirt road. Hopefully in the end it will be improved so its paved all the way to the Villages. I just can't wait.

Don't you see the total picture. The Morse family did not build the Villages retirement community because they wanted to be nice guys. Everything they did was done to sell homes and make money. Of course we love the village's life, that is exactly why people move here, But, people moving here sells homes and selling homes makes lots of money. Has the Developer ever followed the example of Del Webb communities and donated anything to the residents.

All the amenities that exist in Stonecrest were purchased and developed with the developers money and then turned over to the residents. Just shows the development business can be very lucrative. Just think how much more money you can make if you build it with bonds and then make the residents pay off the bond.

Yes, they drove their cars to one of the Villages Golf Cart locations, parked the cars, and took the multi-modal trails between the squares. Probably safer than driving since after 9 pm, the multi-modal trails are virtually traffic-free and the only thing they would hit might be a tree and not a car. Of course, the Villages Carts would be closed after 9. Would they just leave the cart at the back door of the Villages Carts store?

Steve it really won't do any good to argue this point. Over the past fifteen years we, Stonecrest and TV residents alike have been guilty of treaspassing on others properties.

It's better to focus on the issue at hand. Whether or not there is a right of way for all golf carts at the disputed property.

I know Ed. But I got tired of reading how those Stonecrest residents destroyed the gate. You saw how quickly I got rebuffed. I guess its ok to point fingers but boy if you put the shoe on the other foot your a scum ball. Enough said about this point.

The meeting has been running now for some time I'm surprised there has been no news. Maybe there are no survivors, I'm sure its a tad lively in there.

Thanks, EdV....this has gotten heated enough without calling each other criminals. I for one await the news also.

Surely you didn't take his comment as being serious??? IT WAS HUMOR !!!!!
