It's nice and sunny out ... I think Ian practically missed us, 2 inches of rain and not much wind and the roads have dried out. WTF is going on with The Villages? Why are all the courts are still locked up ... except one tennis court where it looks like someone that works for The Villages found the key and has opened it so they could play, nice... I see no effort being put into cleanup going on near me or anywhere near the rec-center or the courts, in fact I haven't seen anyone that works at the rec-center since last Tuesday. OK, I'm venting because I'm a little frustrated ... just want to get out an play some pickleball because I've been couped up for a couple of days... I guess I'll have to wait until next Monday!

You should go to districtgov.org and sign up for some of the notifications; you would then know that the rec centers are scheduled to open tomorrow. I have no explanation for why things are still closed (rec centers, pools, library, etc) but at least I knew it was happening.

Life is hard and so unfair ....... sometimes. Patience is a virtue. All will be open soon. Relax with a cold drink and some tv and have a good day. That is what I'm doing.

Better to be over prepared then under prepared dealing with one of the worst storms
in the history of Florida.

Maybe occupy yourself going out in your village and seeing if anyone needs help with their lanai furniture that was moved to the garage. Have a pressure washer? Volunteer to clean a neighbors lanai while it is empty. Help clean a pond.

This is a joke right?

They announced everything would be closed today so the could assess all facilities and repair/cleanup as needed.

Click bait?? Guess you should have been here then for Irma when many places were closed for weeks. We did miss the bullet here but there's more to keeping up the community than meets the eye. Maybe you should shadow workers here for a week---a month, then sit back and relax. What you're complaining about is First World Problems. IF you want to be busy, maybe volunteer on the gulf coast and help those less fortunate than us. Depending where we live---more than 2 inches fell. At our house I think it was 5+ and some reported 7+ Take a drive and look at the retention pools.

If OP would have been a jumper off his roof, during Irma closures. Guess he doesn’t understand that each facility has to be inspected before anything is opened. Plus not fair to open one at a time, open all when inspection’s are complete

This is worse than complaining about the palms falling.

First world problems. Just think about those folks whose homes were washed away with the storm surge. Get some perspective, please.

I've noticed in my area (Mallory Square) that all the palm fronds have been moved off the roads and MMPs. That is progress already to have those roadways passable. It will take time. Be patient.

I’d say it’s a close second.

So, your local rec center didn't open yesterday! You still are alive. Twenty plus Floridians were not so lucky. You couldn't play pickle ball Friday. Think of the people whose worlds got blown away in the last few days. You are alive, but a bit inconvenienced, but you are ALIVE. Thank you god.

We saw many many trucks and workers out doing clean up yesterday. The grounds are a mess, they have a huge job ahead of them. Some trees down, sink holes etc. maybe you should use this time to pray for the families that lost everything and the lives lost!
