What i like about the Villages, the outside is extremely pretty, clean and organized, just to name a few. Designing a complex , I'll call it . Takes a lot of time and money !!! . I used to live in Reston, Virginia and it was a Planned Community, the whole city (spread out) and big. It's close to Dulles, Virginia, Dulles International Airport.

The Moulton barn just outside the Tetons in Wyoming. We lived in Wyoming for several years and have a very similar photograph by John Partane.

Another great video, Rusty! I love the Eisenhower Rec Center. We are a military family. My husband was a Chinook pilot in the Army. My son was also Army. I’m sorry about your Eagles. My Bills are still in it to win it! 😊❤️ GO BILLS! Christmas in The Villages is awesome! Hurry back!

[@RustyNelson]

Thanks for your service. Good luck to your son and thanks for watching. Maybe when it gets warm down there...LOL.

[@nywaves]

Hello Rusty I am loving your videos the drone footage, how you give details and explain everything, I was wondering I am 48 is anyone in the villages in their early 50 s ?

[@RustyNelson]

the answer is yes but not that many. Best thing to do is come down for a while and see how you feel. Most...in general...of the younger people are in the newer homes. Subscribe for new Videos: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

[@pietrinabravata3474]

Thank you for this great video. Interesting and informative. I felt like I was on a personal tour strolling through the Recreation Centers. It was fun. Also thank you for your service. Looking forward to more of your videos. I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful large oak trees in the Village of Fenny. So pretty. Thanks again.

[@philp6901]

Thanks for your service Rusty. I'm fascinated by the fact that you flew B52s and U2 aircraft. I grew up in Northern Maine within 4 or 5 miles as the crow flies from the Loring Strategic Air Command base. My childhood was filled watching the massive B52s fly out on their cold war missions. It was touted as the 'closest AFB base to Russia', flying over the Arctic. Winters were cold with lots of snow! Unfortunately, it was decommissioned and closed in 1994. Were you ever fortunate enough to fly into Loring during your Air Force career?

[@RustyNelson]

Yes I did actually...the moose was loose. I was there when out base was down for runway repair....two weeks. Had fun but would have been tough long term. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

So nice of you Connie. You can always take a visit...never know.

[@DisMindy5767]

Thank you for this very informative series. The last time I was down there to visit my cousin, we had to go to the Lake Miona Rec center to pick up our visitors passes. I just fell in love with it. The nautical decor and theme really makes me feel at home, as i grew up sailing. While visiting, we also went to the Paradise Family Pool as our teenage daughter was with us. The people were so friendly and welcoming.

Rusty, well done! TV should take a hint and create their own KZbin videos with guidance on how-to-do and how-to-find! ** Especially loved the spot about Fenney Rec Center, live oaks are so picturesque. And I had no idea Fenney Grill was in the rec center!! Awesome pool. ** Have you been to Seabreeze Regional Rec Center? Light and bright beach theme, you would really like it.

We got a ton of snow in Pa today

[@evelinacosta6067]

Another great video.. love all your videos very informative. Thank you for your service, Rusty. My husband and I recently purchased a house in the Village of Hammock at Fenney and were wondering if you had recommendations on lawn services. Like you we are not at the Villages right now and need someone to take care of our lawn.

[@RustyNelson]

I used Massy for now. They do the basics. But that is really not a recommendation. I will revisit this in a year or so. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

Thanks Rusty that was loaded with a lot of great information and I am sorry about your Eagles 🦅 but I have nothing to be happy about I am a Colt fan LOL

[@RustyNelson]

All good...Maybe someday.

[@MaureenLo1]

Why on earth are you up north in January with this snowstorms? 😆 The Rec Center videos were so helpful, thank you! I’m subscribed and enjoy your videos. I’m learning a lot, just dreaming for now, but hope to move down there someday.

[@RustyNelson]

Happy to help! Other things going on up north but I'm down off and on.

[@jthooper1963]

You kept using the past tense when talking about Mr Ezell. He was still alive when the recreation center opened and I have heard nothing different. As for the art gallery, if we only knew someone with experience having a gallery…… 🤣🤞🏻 Good job.

[@RustyNelson]

Funny you pointed that out. I did that after the Eagles lost...I'll blame it on that. No idea why I did that though. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

As a life long Tampa resident before moving here, I remember the “Orange Years”, we mastered defeat. My deepest sympathies.

[@robskully3539]

I am sure someone must have mentioned it already … you have a great radio voice OR as a TV voice over. other than that … nice explanation and viewing of the recreation centers.

[@RustyNelson]

LOL....Not sure how to take that. Guess I need a new face. But thanks for watching.

[@robskully3539]

@@RustyNelson … lol … no you look fine … it is just your voice is pleasant to listen to also 👍🏻

[@tonydee1957]

What do you when outdoor activities are too hot to do. Can you cover more indoor activities for men. I seen the craft fairs and a table game in the centers not very interesting. Also do the rec center have a gym, and spa ( steam, sauna, hot tub inside).

[@RustyNelson]

Spa and steam thing...not that I know of. They do have pay gym and they might be there. Will work on the indoors. You adjust to the heat...or I did. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H

[@paul99036]

At 20:21 the barn sure looks like the TA Mouton barn with the Grand Tetons in the background. Interesting the room just past the picture is named Glacier - one of the trifecta of beautiful national parks along the Rockies (Glacier-Yellowstone-Tetons). Not a photographer, but live in the Northwest and have visited many times. Sorry about your Eagles. Was hoping to see my quarterback (I’m a WSU alumni so Gardner is my guy) but don’t think it would make a difference.

[@RustyNelson]

Yes that is it...you get the prize...LOL. They say they are a building team this year so we will see. Thanks for watching.

[@paul99036]

@@RustyNelson I’ll take a cold beer if we ever meet in The Villages. If we do, I’ll buy you many as thanks for all your hard work. 😎

are the Regional Rec Centers the only places you can play pickleball ? or does each village have their own smaller rec area villagers can play ?
