Thanks for the video. The Flamingo's are one of my all time favorite Doo Wop groups.

I don’t understand the (smugness,spite,eliteness,envy,hatred)shown by those “down there” we are all here to enjoy a fantastic place to spend our lives. Some look down their nose at the historic side , degrade the real villages as if the below 44 is paradise. The facts are if you are happy where you live and your life , screw the narrow minded elitist who .think they are some how superior because of where they live. Nobody cares if your home is a palace or not it’s only important in your mind ,I live in a very nice CV and do not envy the ones in their 1 million plus homes.

Unfortunately The trouble with The villages is that they are not the city of New York and they have no idea ahead of plan any event for the crush of people. That's the good and the bad of a place with 100,000 people while trying to get into one store. That's why I've learned not to recommend any restaurants because you'll get 500 people deciding to go to one place that seats 150 and I'll never get in again. I don't go to Spanish springs in the fall because of the stupid car shows and the fact that there's no parking so I can't go to the movies. It's really ridiculous in this place car show after car show after car show. The same thing happens whenever they have events in the squares you have 100,000 people with nothing better to do than to get in their golf cart for a nice evening ride and you see the ridiculous traffic. The crazy thing is you have a wonderful town of all the wood and Leesburg struggling to survive and yet no one is willing to drive an extra 10 minutes to go shopping in these places. The Leesburg Mall had four large department stores 3 years ago they're now down to one. I'd really like to pop this bubble but everyone in the villages is too damn lazy to get in their car instead of their cart

What you call "trouble," I say "thank God." 😉

What do you mean? It’s always been like that. I live on Hillsborough just east of BV and it’s almost impossible to get out of my neighborhood during the festival. It’s not getting any better.

They need to have these festivals running in all 3 squares at the same time..... that would be so much better because I hate the crowded sardine effect festivals have now.

The people who planned this event and the people who attended got exactly what they wanted. A large crowd. Haagen Daz or Publix might have beeb a good alternative.

I’m sure there other senior areas to live where there’s no crowds , no events nor anything to keep people engaged but they’re not for me

Default Overcrowded

I am confused, I was under the impression events in TV squares is open to the public, not just TV. Also hear people come even from Leesburg to The Strawberry Festival. Could that be why it was so overcrowded?

Plenty of realtors to aid in your relocation to a quieter , less busy place like, say Lake SideLanding. Then you be driving to TB for all the entertainment and not be able to enjoy any of the activities.

TV quickly becoming an overpopulated city with traffic & congestion and all the other problems.
But I bet your not going to move. May be over built but you will not find a place like this anywhere else
