Enlighten us when you return to your mail (said you were away for several days) ....why did you move to florida? Incidentally, I also never agreed to fund an indoor facility with my amenity fees nor did I expect one when we moved here.

Odd. That's EXACTLY why I'm moving to FL. Well, to each his own. And yes, I play every sport you mentioned. OK, not the gymnastics:)

That's where you are wrong Mary Jane. I was tall for a girl and I played basketball in high school. Our neighborhood had a volleyball group, and I always played tennis and golf. I also played racquetball but never soccer or hockey. I took ballet well into my forties. But I really meant it when I questioned you about gymnastics for seniors.

I am sorry you are disappointed about having no gym, but what made you think you would have an indoor gym? Were you misled by a sales person or did you not understand that this is a CDD form of government?

We promised it to be a money maker as we were all willing to pay. We were all given hope for years. This year for the first time, we were told "NEVER". This is just one more small example of the changes I see under Mark. No bashing. I won't be back on TOTV for days as I'm just too busy playing in gyms in other places-I maean out of state.

Larry,

Two thoughts - one is that TV is pretty planned our in advance. The second is that maybe Mark Morse is being more truthful. At least you got an answer - not more stalling.

Not tying to argue either...

I started watching this post early on because I was interested in the Traveling Wall. When the discussions started getting more contentious than informative, I tuned out. Now I clicked on the last page to see if the American Legion was still hosting this event only to find that the discussion morphed into indoor swimming pools!!! I had to go back 4 pages to find out that the American Legion wasn't able to host after all (the Wall, not the pools).

I'm calling out the hijack cops on all y'all. You guys make my head hurt...

I don't think TOTV has a hijack cop any more - me thinks he's out eating donuts.... LOL. :police:

Not a chance !!
 
I promised I would stay out of this and not comment but its just to juicy not to...
First of all we could have had a wall , The Morse's were leaning our way ,but no we couldn't leave it at that , we had to start piling on things like traveling bands , floats, Elvis Presley lookalike contests, a retired space shuttle , the Boston Philharmonic orchestra , Top Gun and Red Flag dueling at 2000 ft. and Lee Greenwood in a Ugo...and why do we have to send Greenwood a Royalty every time we want to stand up? We never did it for Kate Smith or Francis Langford...
I'm a Korean Vet and if you want to see a Wall then do what I did , go to Washington DC and see the real thing,
I don't need a song, show me a FLAG.....
