To the Editor:
I, for one, love to go and watch the bands perform at the squares.
I am not part of any of your Villages, but I live in Lady Lake. My parents moved to Florida before the great expansion. I remember visiting and behind my parents’ house was nothing but Buffalo. Now it is houses and assisted living. I am not complaining about the expansion, I am just upset that someone has the nerve to complain about seat saving in the squares when the people are up enjoying themselves dancing. These people got there early enough to get a seat and then dance. Not everyone dances the whole night away. When there is a break in the music or a song that they don’t dance to, they come back to sit and enjoy water or talking to their friends. It doesn’t matter that they are not sitting all the time. My suggestion is if people want a seat, get to the square a little earlier and get one.
I have lived here long enough to know they fill up fast.
I also have lived here long enough to know to bring my own chair. Yes, you pay for the extras and I don’t. But in my heart of hearts, I believe all people were created as equals. You complained about people dancing the night away. I can understand if someone saved a seat for someone not there, but you stated they were dancing the night away. In my opinion that is not seat saving. The worker was right, the people were there. They were dancing. Everyone has their opinions and everyone’s opinions are not the same. Everyone has the right to voice those opinions. That is one reason why we are called the land of the free.
