It’s GEEZERS IN GOLFCARTS ! ! ! Our second of four stops here in Florida was in Summerfield, a little town between Ocala and Orlando. Just south of here is an area called The Villages which is a collection of retirement parks. Some are townhouses while a lot of them are prefabs (mobile homes), but they almost all have at least one golf cart in the driveway. This is the preferred method of travel here and there are paved paths that link them to one another and also to the shopping centers, medical centers, and recreation areas. There are even bridges across the main route thru here made just for these carts. Most businesses have separate parking for carts usually right in front of the door. And although you always see cars stop for pedestrians, you will never see a cart stop. So if you visit this area, be warned, they are silent and deadly, half blind and hard of hearing. Good luck.
