I've never understood the logic of berating snowbirds. They pay the same taxes, assessments and amenities as we do, and they leave for 7 to 9 months when they're consuming none of the golf tee times, restaurant reservations, exercise class slots, etc.....leaving more for us who live here year-round.

And as for littering cigarette butts etc., I don't think that's the case on the part of snowbirds. Most TV homeowners cannot wait to get to their retirement age/financial position so they can move here, and their pride in ownership is as serious as anybody who's here full-time already.

Maybe....renters don't care as much as owners. But I can't see berating all snowbirds.

We miss our neighbors who go north for the summer and our neighborhood parties aren't quite the same without them and renters who come back to the same home every year.

2) You will eventually get caught it may take a few weeks " But " you will get caught .

3) This will of course result in " Fines " which in turn will help keep our roads here in the Villages really, really nice.. Thank You

4) One last piece of news for all of you..Bonifay Restaurant check it out, especially for dinner and be sure to have that special meal on the " Lani "
and don't for a second believe the tales about the flies/gnats that some people are talking about " Rumors " all of them. Also you have got to try the Beef Stroganof, over Penne out of this world.

Again Welcome Back !!

That's just low class and rude.

Thank you for your post. It's nice to feel welcome.

Of course I am joking. I love snowbirds. Went to school with a few of them. Even have one in my family.

Seriously though, our little Villa neighborhood is a lot more fun when they are down and we miss them.
