A major retirement community that has one of the highest rates of STDs in the country

Had people in line sleeping on an air mattress the day before Trump’s speech

The NBC TV station WESH looked for protesters and found less than a dozen

Side note: Have an acquaintance whose wife is a nurse for a doctor who has an office in The Villages and she says most of the residents there are trying to relive their youth in retirement.

I have a couple of former co-workers living there. The youthfulness is strong with them. It is a nice, relaxing community.

That’s very much in line with my impression and knowledge of The Villages. I’m not sure where a school fits into the community.

That is such baloney. That is a story started by someone decades ago, and has just carried on without any proof. The people who live in The Villages enjoy an active lifestyle in a high trust society. There are about 3000 free resident run organizations, about 100 golf courses, 100 swimming pools 100 recreation centers for currently about 160,000 people. It is not the place to live if you just want to stay inside and look at a screen, although you could if you want to. The whole place closes down at about 9 PM.

I like retirement, I spent a lot of my youth telling dates no, I dont think we should go back to your place.
