After 2 years I found that just about everything that I miss from up north is "at least 45mins to an hour away." I learned I have to drive over an hour to Costco and Trader Joe's & around 18 hours to Wegmans. I learned there are too many dogs in baby carriages wearing sunglasses and boots. The other thing I learned (but did have some idea of) I couldn't state in this forum.

Or dog poooo, or POLITICS!!!!!! Sometimes it's the same thing!!

Giggle, snort!!!!!

I’ve learned that even tho the houses are practically on top of one another, it’s the quietest place I’ve ever lived.

The pools are always comfortably warm...even in the winter.

It is like living in the suburbs in the 60's.

When meeting people for the first time they almost always ask your name and what village do you live.

In ever knew trash could be so complicated: We have Trash picked up 2X/wk, Yard Waste 1x/wk and Recycling 1x/wk. On some days, they happen on the same morning, other days only by themselves. Trash in one type of plastic bag, Recycle in another and Yard Waste in a third type of bag.

Now that I have experienced it, I understand, and it makes sense. Where we moved from, trash was picked up 1x/wk (all trash was in one can that was picked up by a truck with an automated arm).

I am quite happy with the system here, just took some planning/scheduling and buying a stock of each type of bag for me to get it all working correctly. My Trash/Recycle/Yard Waste is now out to the curb on time and on the right day. Neighbors are a GREAT HELP as they are everywhere in The Villages.

Our first impression was how to navigate the roundabouts on the roads and the golf tunnels and trails. But love the trash collection twice a week plus recyclables once a week.

Newbies should be extra vigilant when operating a golf cart on roadways. Be sure to look for signs, "No golf carts beyond this point"

I have learned to not wash my car so often, mother nature usually does if for me almost once a day.

We are seasonal but love the Villages. Two things:
1) The love bugs in May and September are absolutely awful. Worse than anything I have seen up North.
2) Agree with the comment about no good pizza here. If you are from Chicago or New York, you really miss the pizza.

try AyJelisco(sp?) in Spanish Springs...I've never been disappointed there
