We all know that there’s no place like the villages, but if the villages did not exist, Where would you have gone?

Potland Or. or Spokane, Wa. for the summer. Prescott, Az. for the winter.

They proceeded to throw water on his clothes on the deck. No it was not mine but I had trouble understanding this behavior and did not see it here before anywhere. It makes me sad.

I hope you find a friendly area, there used to be one here I've heard

Incredible isn't it? Though I'm not at all surprised. Gave up several years ago. All those pools in TV and you can't SWIM in any of them. It would be funny if it wasn't so ridiculous. Can't find lane times at sports pools and if you try to swim at an adult pool, you get dirty looks or worse!
So sorry you witnessed such mean, boorish behavior. Unfortunately, it is all too common.

Never understood the naming of the pools in TV.
Only swimming pools I have known where swimmers are not welcome, banned, or given the minimal ammount of room, and if you digress, the verbal abuse a swimmer receives is unbelievable!
Walkers? Talkers is more apt, are the curse of the pools.
Most have never walked a yard in their lives!

Reason selling ? We don't use it enough to warrant keeping it. Send me a PM if interested

In our neighborhood pool we have these ladies who keep walking across the pool in twos and threes and do not even think of taking their space.

They make it rather hard for those of us who would actually want to swim in the pool.

I never wanted to live in TV. Hubby liked it ever since we first visited in 2008. I would rather have been a little closer to the gulf coast and farther south ... somewhere between Ft Meyers and Sarasota. I would rather a condo or attached home where someone else is responsible for lawn maintenance. Since we are here tough, its really more about the lifestyle than anything. I am hoping once COVID is under control that life could return to a more robust social life

I lived in Sarasota for five years in the 80s and loved it. The only thing that I don't like about The Villages is being so far from a nice beach. We used to take a fifteen minute drive out to Siesta Key Beach several times a week.

I would also think about moving to Clearwater Beach or even further south near a beach that I could go to in the winter.

Would have moved to something most like the villages.

We would have stayed in Hawaii (Oahu). Love all the activities TV has to offer.

And how is that the fault of The Villages? Do you think the other retirement communities are ignoring the virus and are operations as if it didn't exist?
