This is why I won't move to the villages. Children not supervised and Villages Real Estate buying up residential homes to lease, you don't know who is "Camping" next to you. This is not how it is advertised and now children can live there!

Seen one today. The boy couldn't be more than 10 years old cruising on the MMP along Buena Vista. No one else in the cart.

I was watching a special on the Kennedy's. There is a film clip of JFK driving a golf cart with 14 grandchildren all hanging on. It's just crazy to see and you can find it online but I don't know how to capture it.

TV is tough for walkers. We like Lake Okahumpka much better.
Some tunnels have sidewalk down the middle so they don't have to cross the busy street above. Walkers have right to cross in tunnel. The problem is stupid drivers.

50s and 60s had different rules, we've got little smarter sense then.

I can't recall any tunnels like this. Where are they?

I agree with both of your statements.

But you won't catch me walking thru a tunnel. I did it once when we parked our car at Turtle Mound and walked thru the tunnel to get to Sandhill, but never again.

Going from Turtle Mound parking lot to Sandhill if you are walking you can take the tunnel or cross the Buena Vista that has an island in the middle. For me, I like walking to the island when there are no cars around and waiting for the next break to finish getting across. I almost got hit walking in the tunnel. There is not a lot of room and it's dark.

Children are now allowed to live in The Villages?
Chiildren under 19 have always been allowed 30 days in The Villages.
Are you positive children are now allowed to live here full time?

Perhaps a little Fact Checking is in order.

Rully. Sounds like fake news!
