Don’t cost individuals who come to the squares for leisure – Villages-Information

To the Editor:

“Florida’s Friendliest Hometown” ought to all the time stay simply that! The music on the squares is a “host-community profit” that’s healthful and enormously appreciated by ALL who attend. Such a profit is the least we (The Villages) can present to the beloved space communities. As surrounding host-communities, there may be a lot that their residents should endure with respect to elevated impacts to their communities, particularly throughout season. For myself as a Villager, I welcome a minor inconvenience of strolling a further block or two for parking if want be, or bringing a few my very own chairs.
Please do NOT cost of us to come back to the squares and benefit from the music. This could be extremely counter-productive and a tremendously unfavorable impression to ALL. The encircling communities’ residents convey their households and spend cash, of which I’ve witnessed. Simply this week a household with three well mannered youngsters purchased ice cream within the sq. and graciously sat and listened to the music. (The youngsters thanked their mother and father for purchasing them ice cream .) I’d recommend they signify the realm neighborhood residents that we, as Village residents, ought to respect for a lot of causes. They supply a lot wanted companies, and in-turn The Villages’ outlets and eating places profit enormously from their {dollars}. It is a “quid professional quo” relationship and I’m very pleased with The Villages for offering simply such “friendliness” to our surrounding communities.
