Sounds like you haven't yet visited.

We are waiting to hear what you think of our home town!

Hi gracie. We came oct 8th. It was raining both days but we liked it enough to want to come back for a longer look. We looked at lots of houses, rec centers etc. Talked to some folks. We liked the cyv homes. Didn't get to see many people out playing because of the rain. We met family and friends for dinner at codys. Lots to talk about. We'll be back.

Posh, there are many young people that move to Florida for the climate, thinking that they will find jobs. After they are there for a while, the novelty wears off and the minimum wage job they have gets tiring, therefore they move back home. I have seen this happen many times, including my son and my nephew. When you factor this in along with the seniors that move back to their original state to be with family, it is easy to see how that many people leave. The Villages seems to be different...we are all planning to be there for the long haul and I bet the percentage of people that leave TV to move out of state is quite small. Glad you enjoyed your visit and sorry for the rain. When we went it was in July so it was hot and sunny with only a day of rain. Hope to meet you someday in TV.

Thank you ever so kindly, kb8tpw!

Posh 08, glad you enjoyed your trip despite the weather.
