I'm 100% honest- I tell them I'm a Villager & lucky to be one. I also tell them we should've moved here years sooner :MOJE_whot:

What does this bottom of the barrel really mean to you? Can you define?

Personally, hubby and I say we’re retired in Central FL one hour north of Disney World (since we are Disney fans/passholders). The convo doesn’t usually go beyond that, but if it does we happily say The Villages.

:confused: If I were going to make a guess..... maybe the people that read that you think Wildwood is the bottom of the barrel! That is what you posted this morning.....isn't it? :rolleyes:

Wildwood building downtown parking garage? I still trying figure where’s downtown is and why would need parking garage on either side of 301?
