It's. There was no more police presences than a Rocky and the Rollers night on the square. There also was no more presence of "young people" than is experienced today.

It may have been the table saving and car parking and a few grumps who tangled verbally about it. Which led to complaints by a few that got the legal part of the developers concerned about liability exposure......hence the ending of an excellent New Years venue that was enjoyed by the majority.

The usual few @&$$!?($&? It up for the many.......AGAIN!

I had good time! "Jack" came over and we listen to "The bottle Let me down" "hank Williams you wrote my life" and the Great Gene Watson song "Farewell party". the show stopper " I always get lucky with you"

Sorry this happened to you guys.

I went to a dance one time and the band was playing so slow, I thought they were going play a minute.

Happy New Year!!!

Can't blame them.

It's a question often asked by newer residents.
Such a shame that a few people ruined it for the rest.
It reminds me of the buffalo we all used to enjoy seeing in our fields.

I think that law suit was when many of the changes to the "old way of doing things" happened.

I suppose with the enormous growth things were bound to change, but .......

This is why we have rules in The Villages. Thank your lucky stars
for the truly visionary Morse Family. If residents ever get control of the Amenities.....LOOK OUT BELOW....because that is where the value of your house will go along with the beautiful, incomparable lifestyle.

you must be one of those that drank the developers kool aid....just for your info the N. side of 466 has managed their amenities now for a few years....and have done a great job the developer has built a great place for us to live....but....those who live here can also make decisions on our own

how many places have you lived where the developer phased out and the residents decimated the life style as you intimate above?

I have participated in two in the past years. And like all good, well run organizations we elected responsible people to manage our developement with resident home owner value and lifestyle being the number one objectives. Both are alive and well and look and feel the same as when we lived there. Home values over the last 10 and 20 years have doubled with some even more.

And now back to the subject of the thread......which has nothing to do with the fall and decline of TV.

Sometines you just have to leave the environs of The Villages.

Mrs. Trap and I went with another Villages couple to Orlando yesterday afternoon, checked into a Marriott, went to a good dinner and then enjoyed seeing Billy Joel in concert at thr Amway Center. It was an amazing show with a sold out attendance of around 15,000.

We stayed overnight and had a leisurely drive back home.

Absolutely a great time!

Couple examples;
one district painted stripes on the trails, others didn't
some district have no sign rule, others don't
This resulted from power plays from some individuals. The lack of consistency in the rules can only lead to trouble. This is "making decisions on our own".

yup cannot argue with you....the 2 examples you cited out of the several thousand that the ACC has made the past few years will definitely lead to the down fall of the north side of THE VILLAGES.....btw look at the fiasco at Colony Cottage hmmmm didn't the developer run that show.....and wait until the F.P. expansion adds to it

I absolutely, completely and entirely disagree with you. I don't want The Villages to ever change or to be run by Villagers.

In most small homeowners associations those who have never run anything get a chance to really mess things up. Imagine what it would be like in a big place like The Villages. Just LOOK at like size cities.

I never want the south side of 466 to ever change.

We live in the best run place in The U.S. but it wouldn't be if the inmates take over the asylum.

That is MY opinion.
