This is one of those threads where folks are kidding around.


I have heard that one of the Morses has bunions.

And I heard the fourth and final square will be named Bunionwood. Initially it was to be called Italian Springs but a bunch of Canadian snowbirds threatened to become permanent residents of TV. Hence, that idea was abandoned.

Oh Barefoot...is this true?

Well I know I saw the original Paul Bunyan statue in Old forge, New York. and then they moved it to Brainerd, Minnesota and i suppose stops in Maine, Michigan and a few other states and now it apparently has landed in The Villages where it is totally misplaced and miscast. I hope this is someone's idea of a joke and and a joke that will soon end before it gets mightmarish. I for one will call ARC as this community is already too much of a vacation destination for some while that I thought it was going to be a retirement home
