Hi Don. Thx for your videos. We are seniors living in The Villages and will be selling and building in Middleton. We notice you always do a great job of showing downtown Middleton, but you don’t show the continuing construction of the homes in Middleton. Is there a reason why you avoid showing the Middleton homes? It would be very helpful to many of us seniors moving into Middleton if you could include the homes there too. Thx much.
Not avoiding it, in fact I had some really good footage of the residential areas of Middleton for this video, but sometimes things need to be cut and that area doen't have a lot of interest for most viewers so hit generally hits the cutting room floor rather early. I'll see what I can do in #146.
Thx Don. I believe there is more interest than one might assume at first. There are actually many of us seniors moving to Middleton, so anything you can fit in will be appreciated. Plus it’s always nice to highlight areas designed for people who will be supporting our bubble of paradise. Those folks are certainly appreciated. 👍🏻
I would like to know if and when the “junk trailers” will be removed. There used to be a for sale sign which is now gone and looks like someone is doing some clearing.
I haven't seen any yet, sometimes they'll do one or to in CYVs or Veranda units if the lot are right for it and some in the Designer Spec homes but it tends to raise the prices and cut down on the prospective buyers. So far I haven't seen any yet, that doesn't mean they won't happen.
They do them every now and then, if they have a big lot or a special view they will put one in, over the years I've seen them on CYVs, Veranda, and designer spec homes. It's rare and sometimes they get snapped up and others they are on the market for a while.
Yes, I receive a donation from Mr. Morse, his wife, and his sister Jennifer Parr, as well as dozens of other business and community leaders and residents from throughout Sumter County. The real question is why would they donate to me, because they don't want to go through another period of turmoil for the business community that nearly recked the economy of Sumter County 3 years ago when the EMS idiots and their "I hate the developer" agenda. You cannot attack one part of our community without ultimately damaging off of it. I have promised the business community the same thing I promise all of the rest of Sumter County, to treat them fairly and honestly and without bias in my actions and decisions as County Commissioner as I have done for the last 2 years. If you think that a $1000 donation to my campaign (of which I receive no personal benefit from) is sufficient to buy some favor or my integrity, then that is a reflection of your moral values, not mine. I came from a world, where for over 20 years, each and every day 150 men trusted me with their lives, we trusted each other to have the highest possible level of integrity, that value has not changed in my life.
Good job Steve! We love our Rackabove. 😊
Outstanding as usual. Really enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the video, My Husband and I will be in TV On July 14-18th to look at homes. I can't wait to visit!
Hope you enjoy it! It’s an amazing place to retire
Good job. I enjoy your videos.
Nice video , you started on the 7th hole you got a nice shot of our new home we close Tuesday!
Great show Donn, thank you for all the hard work.. Donn, the villages life guard 😂
Thanks for sharing this information. New to learning about the Villages. Just heard about them the last couple of days on here. 😊
Great looking shirt Don. This was very informative. Hope your golf improves.

Getting all my climbing gear ready! Woo hoo!!
Go for it, but be careful.
I hope they add a movie theater somewhere down in the southern part of the villages ie Eastport or Downtown Middleton.
It's extremily doubtful that you will ever see another theater in The Villages

Look for footage in #146

Not sure where you are talking about…
@@GoldWingnut I think he means the open lot South of the Rehab Hospital Site. There are semi trailers that have been parked there for a long time.
Outback Steakhouse
I heard there is a new softball field going up in Eastport. Didn't show it or did I miss it?
About the 12 minute mark it looks like softball fields in the background.
That was some of the footage that got left on the cutting room floor for this video.
@@GoldWingnut Ok thanks, any news on when it opens and where it is?
It will be a while, it will open with Olympia RRC and the rest of Eastport
Are they building pools in Wellpoint spec homes?
I haven't seen any yet, sometimes they'll do one or to in CYVs or Veranda units if the lot are right for it and some in the Designer Spec homes but it tends to raise the prices and cut down on the prospective buyers. So far I haven't seen any yet, that doesn't mean they won't happen.
There appears to be a small pool at the Villa on the corner of Corbin Trail corner overlooking the golf course - visible in your video around 17:15.
You're right, a better view is at aobut 16:15
Looks like there are two do far.
Ever seen a pool in a spec home before?
They do them every now and then, if they have a big lot or a special view they will put one in, over the years I've seen them on CYVs, Veranda, and designer spec homes. It's rare and sometimes they get snapped up and others they are on the market for a while.
Is it true you e accepted political donations from The Villages owners as it is being reported?
