Here's what else I'm reading and watching this week:

Also on the development front, Don Wiley shared a video on the progress of the new Southern Oak bridge:

• The Villages Construction Update #110 – 4/6/2022 (YouTube)

Speaking of Don, he recently threw his hat in the ring for election to the Sumter County Commission:

• PWAC chairman to throw hat into Sumter County Commission race (Villages-News)

Papa Pineapples gave us a look at some of the finishing touches being put on Sawgrass Grove:

• The Villages, Florida – Finishing Up Sawgrass (YouTube)

I'm all for the rules & regulations and covenants & restrictions residents have to abide by. I think they help to keep the community the great place that it is. But I think this is a little ridiculous:

• 83-year-old Villager fights to keep sidewalk after neighbor’s complaint (Villages-News)

Easter is right around the corner, and Camp Villages sounds like it's going to be “hopping”:

• Camp Villages expects big Easter turnout (The Villages Daily Sun)

One thing about The Villages being so close a federal prison is that you never know who just might be doing time right next door:

• U.S. Marshals find mob hitman who escaped from halfway house near The Villages (Villages-News)

Have a great week!
